Bucket Seat - Third Row Seating

Third Row Seating

Bucket seats are also used in passenger vans and minivans, although they are not generally referred to as such; for instance Ford refers to these types of seats as "Captain's Chairs." Unlike those in cars, bucket seats in vans can be configured in different ways or even removed for more cargo storage. In the typical minivan configuration, the front and middle rows have two bucket seats each, while the third-row seat has a three-person bench, for a total of 7 passengers. The 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey (except for the base trim) adds a stowable "PlusOneSeat" between the middle row bucket seats. The Australian Mazda MPV had 3 seats in the middle, and 2 in the last row. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga also has 3 seats in the middle, and 2 seater bench seats in the last row.
