Recently we went on a road trip to visit my parents. Normally we would fold down the third row for the two big dogs, but this time I removed the two middle row Captains Chairs and my daughter sat in the third row. Dogs seemed to be more comfortable in the middle, took a couple of 2x4's and put them in the slots where the rails would go and put some workout puzzle matting and a blanket on top of that to give them a nice level platform. I plan on building a nicer platform soon to install each trip. Wish I took images, also had to use three different size sockets for the 4 bolts in each seat. 10 -15 min removal. another 10-15 to reinstall.
