Replying to: ltrantham (Jul 25, 2006 2:22 pm) I have the HL with the 3rd row, Hybrid actually. The second row moves front and back. With both the driver's seat and the second row seat fully back, and the child seat forward facing, there is still 10-11" to recline from full upright before you touch the seat. One note however: the Highlander sits lower than some other SUV's. It's easier to get into but the roof is lower to the ground as a result. I had an ML before this and I had to make an adjustment after a few knocks .   Take the carseat to the dealer and bring your kid on the test drive. That's what I did and I brought the stroller as well to see how it fit behind the third row (it did fit, better than behind the third row of the ML as well)
#7 of 16 3 child car seats by bwalton2 Sep 05, 2006 (6:45 pm)
Is there a configuration possible where one could place 3 child car seats in the an 07 Highlander: 2 in the middle row on each side excluding the middle seat and one in the back. Concern is having to take multi child car seats out every time need to take kids out of the seats.

#8 of 16 Highlander 3rd Row by gerbear Aug 07, 2007 (2:09 pm)
Is it possible to add a third row to a Highlander after buying the car? My family has grown and I kind of need one now.

#11 of 16 Car seat fit in Highlander's 3rd row w/out headrests? by nekmom Jan 29, 2008 (8:33 pm)
Will a forward facing car seat fit in the Highlander's 3rd row seat with the head rests down? I'm considering buying a Highlander and will need to put toddlers in the third row who are small enough that they don't need head rests. I'd love the increased visibility of not having headrests when they're not necessary, but from the photos I can't tell whether a car seat would fit properly when the head rests are down (they fold in front of the seat). I'd check it out a the dealer's but the closest one is 45 min away and I'd rather not make the trip just yet. Replies to this message: edcinca (May 19, 2008 9:20 am) amycp (Jan 23, 2009 7:14 pm)

Replying to: nekmom (Jan 29, 2008 8:33 pm) I have an '05 Highlander with 3rd row and have had no problems installing any of the following child safety seats and boosters: -Britax Roundabout (forward facing) -Graco CarGo -Britax Parkway highback booster -Fisher Price Safe Voyage highback booster   I take the headrests out first or flip them around so that the "bumpy" side faces backwards.   and in case anyone's curious - I can fit three boosters across in the second row, or two boosters plus one harnessed seat (Graco CarGo). The fisher price boosters are narrower than the Britax boosters so buckling's easier. Replies to this message: amycp (Jan 23, 2009 7:14 pm)

Replying to: edcinca (May 19, 2008 9:20 am) Hi there, Just curious how you got 3 across. I too have an 05 Highlander. One baby that is still rear facing in either a Roundabout or Marathon who sits behind me and a 4.5 year old in a booster behind the passenger. Would like the ease of an additional booster in the second row for carpooling but am not able to buckle them in. Do you have any space between the armrests to get your hands in there? I have even tried a narrower (17 inch vs 18 or 19) convertible seat for the baby and still struggle to get the kids buckled in the boosters. Is there a trick Im missing? The Fisher Price Safe Voyage is no longer being made. Any suggestions?!?!?!?

Replying to: bwalton2 (Sep 05, 2006 6:45 pm) Thought I'd ask if "bwalton2" ever came up with a solution to the 3 carseat issue...I'm in the same situation where I need a vehicle that can hold 3 carseats and be able to get the kids in and out of them without removing the seats. Specifically, the seats are one forward-facing, one rear, and one infant with the base. I want a Highlander Hybrid, but with 2 carseats in the 2nd row I don't think I can get to a carseat in the 3rd. Anyone know if I can put on on the side and one in the middle (2nd row) so that I can fold one side to get to the 3rd row? Trying to avoid the minivan downfall...

Replying to: mjnviking (Sep 28, 2009 4:00 pm) I have read that the Highlander has a stow away function for the middle part of the 2nd row. In other words, you can remove the middle section, allowing access to the 3rd row in much the same was as an SUV with club seats. I don't know how much leg room there is so depending on the size of the adult trying to get back there this may be a decent feature.
