This is awesome! Thank you so much!

Thanks! That's actually really helpful because you are confirming what I'm thinking is probably the case.

For those with kids in car seats, can you offer some advice on access to the third row with kids IN the seats? Here is my scenario: We have 4 kids - 2 teens and 2 preschoolers. We also carpool to school. On some days, I have our 2 preschoolers plus 4 teens to drop and pick up at different schools. The teens -and all their stuff - need to be able to get in and out of the third row while the littles are strapped into their seats. Right now we have an Odyssey and accomplish this by leaving one outboard seat open in the second row. And the littles need to be in the second row so they can get out easily at their school. I like the idea of captains chairs in the second row- less fighting and more room and easier access when it is just our family. But given the carpool requirements, how hard is it to access the third row with kids IN second row car seats? Can it be done? Or should I be looking at a second row bench? Thanks!
