[@224chingon]

I like it so much its very neat almost like riding in a limo. Nice of you to show people how to do it. Thanks

Awesome video Thanks so much the kids are loving the new seat configuration. We did need the C clamps and a little WD40 but it clicked in after a few bounces on the seat 🤣

[@mattandbrook]

This is fantastic, thanks for posting. I want to see what it looks like with your kids in there.

[@224chingon]

@Ezaarkash are you stupid?

[@TheSprintina]

Thank you for posting this video! Could you do another video showing how it looks to have 5 kids/adults in those two rows that face each other?

[@isozero7265]

Perfect for our camping setup thank you thank you thank you!

This is great video rear facing seats could totally be used for those not in car seats to give them better access to those in car seats for my family thank you for sharing.

Do you know if those cover plates can be purchased aftermarket somewhere? Thanks!

[@dontaskwhat]

Have you tried moving the 3rd row a little backward? Having knees too close against each others may be a problem during an accident.

[@diannhazelton9808]

Also there were cars that have been manufactured with rear facing seats before. Chevy caprice being one I can think of off the top of my head.

Great vid!!! Thanks!!

Have you found any negative consequences such as squeaky seats post “squeeze” mod?

[@brigala]

Have you given any thought to how this might affect safety in the event of an accident? Has Nissan crash-tested the vehicle in this configuration?

[@mazinbenny]

+Elizabeth P. Actually, full-size vans are not crash tested at all in any configuration because they are commercial vehicles. They only test roll-over. Rear-facing seats are actually safer in front collisions, hence why infants and young children are to be rear-facing. So, short answer, there is no data and it is an acceptable risk that my family is willing to take.

[@joebenham27]

did the manufacturer intend this?

[@sammthekatt]

Ok I it's okay

[@sammthekatt]

It's been i

[@Herburban1]

No car seat manufacturer allows installation on anything but a forward facing vehicle seat.. And by modifying against the vehicle manual you may void your warranty. NOT safe. CPST.

[@mazinbenny]

+Herburban1 Considering we were otherwise looking at 3rd-party/aftermarket conversions, I'd contend that using factory floor mounts and seat latches is safer than anything added on later. And yet, there are many vehicles on the road with after-market options and changes. There is no crash test data for either forward or rear facing seats in this vehicle. As such, my family chooses to take the risks that we feel are appropriate.

The manufacturer advertised 324 seating configurations for this vehicle and this is one of them.
