If that third seat will fit in the back of the RZR, it would seem like a narrow rear bench for two kids might fit as well. Something like can be found here but maybe slightly narrower. This one is 42" wide:

My Arctic Cat fits in my FK19, tight squeeze and I have to take the cooler rack off. The top of the cage is about 1/2 an inch from the bed. I put a 70 in front of it, in the kitchen and the raptor has to go in the back of the truck.

You’re in San Jose that’s cool. I'm in Sac. Did you say you have kids? I have two girls, a 7yr old and a 1.5 yr old. We should hook up at a campsite sometime. My dealer up here in Elk Grove has a RZR you could test-drive. GL
This RZR is from Glamisdunes.com
Also prcforum.com has good info.
NICE! That is exactly what Im looking for. Yep, I have kids, 13 year old boy, 3 year old boy (just rode his lt50 quad at Pismo last week for the first time!!!) and a 3month old little girl....and of course my wife...  We are always down to meet new people...we just need to find more time to do it. Thanks for the heads up Big Silly. I've got a custom welder coming over tomorrow to see what we can fab up on the rear of the hauler for a quad or something to make some room. Cheers ! ~Brad

Hey brad you might just install a hitch on the rear of the TH. Then use a double bike carrier to put a small quad on. I have a double bike carrier got off Ebay that my daugters quad would fit on. That way you just pull that off then drop the tail gate. If you don't have beds in the garage they sell stacking systems as well. Nice thing about the RZR is that it has the lowest UTV cage hieght. Or the best option would just be to trade me THs as mine has more cago area!!! I'll even give you my RZR in the deal??? Huhhh? lol
This is the one I have (Alum 75lbs) you just need to know the width:
Ebay dual bike carrier
ATV designed (kinda pricy):
ATV carrier
There is lots of different carriers on Ebay. Take a look. You could also use a carrier with your truck for day trips. I'm full of good ideas huh?  lol

No pics but I would go Rhino. The RZR is Faster but the Rhino is hands down better in quality and handling. They will both take up a heck of a lot of room.

Youll never get 2 small kids in a RZR. I have 4 kids and every time we go on a long ride the 2 small ones want to go in the Rhino.

No never...
More pics.
His set-up sits 3-4 inches higher than it needs to and he didn't have a custom cage built he just added the rear cage. I think you will see a lot more back seat action as the RZR is blowing up in the sand crowd. I still like the single seat look as it flows the best I think.
"Rhino is hands down better in quality and handling" here we go... lol
I know we all think our toys are the best but lets not get carried away. From what I keep reading Jaggedx race RZR keeps winning all the enduro races under the UTV class. Ohh and Mafia Ind RZR seems to be doing pretty well on the short track. They don't have near the investment the $35K Rhinos do either.
Brad, or any other on lookers my suggestion is to test drive them all. You be the judge. Or better yet I'm going to plan a guys only (since my wife hates to camp when its real cold) to Stonyford sometime this month or in January. Go ahead and put down your deposit on a "Rhino Killer", I mean RZR and I'll have my RZR and my Cousins 2006 Rhino out at Stony for you to test drive.
