2nd row Captain’s Chairs + 3rd row Stowable seat

2nd row Bucket Seats + 3rd row 50/50 split bench

2nd row 60/40 split bench + 3rd row 50/50 split bench

• Option for built-in car seat for 2C (Forward-facing for kids 22-40lbs)

2nd row options: bucket seats (3 separate seats), 60/40 split bench, captain’s chairs

2D & 2P have switchable retractors with sliding latchplate

2C in bucket seats has a lap belt w sewn on latchplate and switchable retractor

3D & 3P have shoulder belts w locking latchplates with ELR

3rd row: 50/50 split, or full bench (3C in either has lap belt w locking latchplate)

Getting the tether hook onto the tether anchor can be quite tricky. We find it easiest to fold the vehicle seat back forward, then hook the tether onto the tether anchor, then put the vehicle seat back upright.

Built-in child restraints were available on the Venture’s & Montana’s with 2nd row Bucket seats & 2nd row 60/40 split benches (but not on the 2nd row captain’s chairs).

The difference between bucket seats vs captain’s chairs is that the bucket seats are the armless 2D & 2P seats in the 8-seater model, while the Captain Chairs are the 2D & 2P seats WITH armrests in the 7-seater model.

Montana & Venture seem to be identical, Silhouette has fewer seating possibilities (only captain’s chairs).
