I understand that Previas with bucket seats in the middle row have the split fold-up/out rear bench seat, while Previas that have a middle bench seat have a non-split rear bench seat. (Is that correct?)
If I get a Previa with bucket seats in the middle row, would it work to get a middle-row bench seat from a wrecking yard (used car parts), remove the middle-row bucket seats, and swap in the middle-row bench? In other words, do the two types have the same floor connections? Or do they have different floor connections that each only works with their own type of seat?
I like the rear split fold-up/out bench seat for the floor space, but with two small children in child-restraint seats, a bench in the middle works better than buckets because they can keep toys, etc. between them on the bench. We could put them in the rear bench, but then they're harder to monitor, and cargo space would be split between rear and middle.
By the way, can the middle-row bucket seats be easily removed when the space is needed for cargo?
Thanks,
Greg
