Captain's chairs in a 3-row SUV
Posted on 3/11/20 at 1:51 pm

Anybody regret getting them? Is there any down side to them, other than one less seating option?
I've got two kids in car seats, so is there any disadvantage with kids or car seats? Seems it would be a lot easier to let them access the 3rd row when they're older
It appears to be a little more challenging to find local inventory with the captain's chairs, so I'm wondering if I'm just better off getting one with bench seating

MIL (no) bought one last year. She doesn't like when you fold down the second row that there's a gap between the chairs.

2nd row captains chairs is the only option. I built a little box for gap in center when folded, it’s a non issue for me

Don't do it!
I did it for the exact same reason and regret the hell out of it. My reasoning for looking at them was the exact same as yours.

Captains chairs are the only option for 3 row SUVs IMO.

We had captain's chairs for 16 years. Never once regretted them especially with kids. Separation is good. Lol

I remember my grandparents’ big ole car.
Had a front bench seat that ran from door to door.
It was like a sofa in a car.

I've had one with bench for middle seat, and now 2 with Captain's chairs. Won't ever get a bench again.

Have had 2 Infinitis with second row captains chairs. They were awesome

Depends on family size IMO. If only a family of 4, captains chairs are fine since you can have the 3rd row folded and still maximize cargo space while moving everyone.
If a family of 5, I would find the 2nd row bench better for the same reason.
Family of 5 here. This. I have buckets and wish I had the bench. Tahoe.

I do not see why they make SUVs without captain chairs on the second row.

With two kids in car seats I would have preferred a bench seat in the middle. Mainly for road trip so the wife could move back there and feed or keep them happy.
This was when they were really little and rear facing. Now that the youngest is 3 and more self sufficient then it’s not a big deal

Tahoe with Captain's chairs. Took the 3rd row seating out and put down weathertec. I can load up a small Mexican village in the back of that thing or do some Olympic frickin.

Get the captain's chairs, you will not regret it. Much easier if someone else has to ride with you and you have to use the 3rd row.
