We plan on removing the front wheels, putting the 3rd row flat/level with the floor and load them in standing up next to one another. Once we get to pittsburgh, it will be the same plan from Pitt to State College.

Has anyone done this before? Any tips or different thoughts how to make this happen? I'd rather avoid the Amtrak.

Thanks!
