For my 07 LWB, and also applies to the 06 model - Both captains chairs have full LATCH with tether anchors. There are also 2 full sets of LATCH with tether anchors in the 3rd row. One set is on the passenger side, however, the other set is smack in the middle of the center and drivers side seating locations, so it is useless if you need to do 3 across. But if you're installing with seatbelt, you can use the top tether anchors for both outboard seats in the back, leaving the middle seat in the 3rd row as the only seating location without a top tether anchor.
I have this situation in my 2008 Sedona EX, long wheel base. I need to put two toddlers forward facing in the rear 60/40 seat. Both Radian XT seats. Passenger side has LATCH and tether anchor, no problem.
It gets a little interesting with the other seat though. Sounds like there are 2 options:
1. Use seatbelt on driver's side, and use the tether location which is not directly behind the location of the car seat, so the tether will be on an angle. Is the car seat and tether location designed for this scenario? This is my preferred option if it is safe.
2. Use the other LATCH system and tether, which are apparently situated neither on the middle nor on driver's side - rather, somewhere in between. Is this location description accurate? It seems closer to the centre. One kid just turned three and the other 19 months, so they'll be battling each other if I sit them so close together. And mom with a 3-day old newborn elsewhere in the van, so need peace in the Middle Back...
Hope to hear back quickly, so we can get cruising!
Thanks very much.
