We are thinking about upgrading to a minivan. I've read lots of reviews and safety stuff and would like to get a Sienna if possible. Budget is under $10k. I was looking at 2002-03 models, but it seems like there was a big redo in 2004 that may have added features I really want. I've searched online and can't find some of the info. I need to make a decision. We have 2 kids, a 4.5 yo (40", 36 lbs.) FF in a nautilus or RF/FF in a myride and a 3 mo. old (21", 10 lbs.) RF in a truefit or the myride. Older DD will be harnessed at least another year or two in her nautilus and younger DD will be RF at least until 3 years. We may or may not have more children in the future. I am 5'1" and DH is 6'1", so he needs to be able to scoot the seats back.
For what model year you have (had), can you tell me:
location of LATCH, esp. concerned w/ tethers
do 2nd row seats slide together if you have capt. chairs
would 2 of the above seats fit side by side
do seats "stow and go" or need to be removed
do seats fold flat for cargo
is there a well behind the 3rd row
is 3rd row center lap or shoulder belt
are the car seats listed above easy to install
can the convertibles fit RF in 2nd row if front seats are back pretty far
anything else you like or dislike about the model year you have
Thanks soooo much!
