Question Narrowing the search, Sienna which years for 3 across?

[whippetmama]

Ok after trying to figure out seating for the Town and Country we decided to opt for a switch of vehicles. I need MINIMUM four top tether anchors. Seems like Siennas are the best bet but dealers know nothing so which years should I be looking for to get the most tethers in the third row? I know the Odyssey can be ok too depending on the year but seems more expensive. I'll be looking at getting new seats as well for three year olds that fit 3 across.

I'm in Canada so top tethers are a must.

TIA, I've learned so much from this board.

'04-'10 I believe has 2 top tethers in the back. I had an '08 8-pass and it had one on each seat in the middle row and 1 passenger outboard and one center, on the 3rd row. If you find a 7pass which is more likely there is one on each captain's chair.

Starting in '11 they only had one and pre '04 I don't know what was in there.

DO you have sedonas there? I think the older ones had a 3rd row that split in the middle and had a top tether on either side which is easier i think than having to put two side by side - not sure when they went to 40/60 split but a used sedona might be an option? It might make a 3 across tricky though, I don't know.

2004-10 sienna, 8 passenger, you can fit pretty much anything three across the second row. Each second row position has full LATCH.
I hardly use my third row, and when I do, it has been boosters, but I think there are at least two top tethers, I want to say three, but I know there are not three sets of lower anchors.

There are two sets of full LATCH in the back.... Passenger side and center. There's no tether for the driver's side 3rd row.

Also oddysey s 2000-2004 can have 5 top tether if you retrofit (super easy and only $18ish dollars from Honda)

2005 was a dud year with 3 tethers

2006-2010 had them for all 5 seats (8th seat/jump seat does not have a tether)

New ones have them in all rear seat in positions.
