The Van WITH Seats *more pics post 35*

We got a new van (2005 Sienna LE) and I finally got around to trying some seats in it I know, there are no kids in the seat but it is 105 degree out. We are taking it to get a few repairs today and once I pick it up I will be driving it more and get some "action" shots. The RNs fit really well in the 3rd row and the CCO did great in the captains chair with latch

I love my Radians in the 3rd row of my Sienna...your picture of the CCO makes me REALLY want one to put in the middle of my Sienna for the newb on the way!

You totally need one CCOs are so cute! And babies are so cute! It's like... an unbeatable combination!!

The van is currently at the mechanic to get some things fixed, it should be done tomorrow and then I can put all the seats BACK in it (not fun to do in 110 degree weather, just FYI) and drive it! I need to go get a temporary base pass tomorrow since Friday the Jeep goes on storage insurance so I can't drive it. Makes way more sense to put the Jeep on storage tho... the insurance on it is almost twice the van!!

What did the van say about LATCH in the captain's chairs and the recline?

It was really confusing... Maybe someone with a Sienna can chime in, I really suck at reading manuals... LOL

It is like 5 clicks back. If someone doesn't chime in, I will ask Misty when she gets here.

And the 3rd row is 11 clicks. Which sounds way more reclined than it really is.

I think I have the 3rd row right. I will double check tho... anyone know the "why" behind the random number of clicks? Also, do the clicks just apply to LATCH installs or all installs?

LATCH installs only. Which is why I said, if all else fails you can use the seatbelt.

The only thing I've heard is so that way you can see the lower anchors. I don't know if that means, then, that you can pull it more upright afterward. Toyota hasn't given an answer that I've seen.

Ok, then I don't have to worry about the 3rd row at all, I like my seatbelt installs back there with the Radian I think the Keyfit will be fine in a captains chair with the seatbelt too... the only seat I plan on using LATCH for is the CCO which is going in the driver's side captains chair, so I will just check that one for the recline!

This is the first I've heard of the 5 clicks....can someone elaborate? So the back of the captains chairs have to be reclined exactly 5 clicks...so more no less? I've never noticed this in my manual....is it mentioned somewhere? Or is this info that has been given verbally from Toyota?

Guess I should go read my manual again.......
