If you have a minivan

And you don't use the third row seats all the time, do you leave them up or put them down for more space in the back?

Re: If you have a minivan

They're usually up, unless I need the space. If we're going to Costco or need to carry something big, I put them down. But at any time I could be piling more people in than my 2 DC, so I just leave them up.

Same here, otherwise if I put anything in the back when the seats are down, it just ends up rolling all over the place!

Re: If you have a minivan

We keep the 1/3 seat up and the 2/3 seat down. That way, I can put a small batch of groceries, a few bags, etc. in the hole in the back (from the 1/3 seat being up) without them being thrown all around...and then lay a stroller, bike, etc on the 2/3 seats that are laying flat.

Before I had DD, the boys were in the captains chairs in the middle row w the middle seat out. The third row was usually 1/3 down, 2/3 up but we have the odyssey and switched the 3rd row configuration often since it just takes a pull of the cord.
