What owners wrote

We have a front facing childseat installed in the 2nd row passenger captain seat and a rear facing infant child seat in the passenger side third row. This configuration is necessary because the infant seat has a bracing bar that is difficult to raise and lower prohibiting the chair from angling forward for climbing in and out of the third row.
