It really is ideal. We put the cushion from the cockpit that goes over the step (starboard side) in between them and they're quite separated. They setup all their stuff and create a bit of a wall between them
My daughter is 52" tall now...I think...and she is still good to go on the starboard side as pictured. The port side of the midcabin is a bit shorter...sadly.
that’s great. Being young and 4 years apart I think we’ll get some good years out of that setup too. And then I can still get up before the family to sit in solitude for a half hour
