Babies and toddlers need an adult next to them, so you can't put them on the third row. Really, nobody wants to sit back there for long, as it's often too hot or too cold. If we did have six on board, we wouldn't have enough cargo space for a trip, so practically it's a four-place and we use the third row for extra luggage. We have usually wanted to bring extra people along on our travels, such as the kid's friends or a grandparent. Our plane is fast, but it would have been handy to have had a lavatory on board sometimes. So, I don't think your jump seats in the cargo bay will ever get used. By the time you get this plane flying, your family members may be physically larger and may not want to sit three-across. Some may not be able to climb up on the wing to enter. They may have special friends or spouses. And you may be surprised at the size of the luggage they show up with.
