Hello All,

Richard V recently posted a picture of his 2014 Toyota Sienna seats that had everything I am looking for: 2 armrests per seat, can be reclined, and integrated 3 point seat belts. Finding a set of these is probably going to be a challenge - particularly up here in Canada (fewer cars, and the average car is kept on the road longer).

I am wondering whether the brain trust out there knows of seats from any other manufacturer/model/year that would have all these features?

Thanks in advance

Gordon

I found quite a few that had all your requirements *except* "integrated 3 point belts". Toyota, Mazda and Ford had vans with dual armrest middle seats in certain years and trim packages.

The main issue I had finding seats - 85% of the ones I found were grey, I required tan/beige. The seats I ended up using were from a 2003 Toyota Sienna (found locally for $75):

We're 100% happy with them.

I used a set of middle seats from a Mazda van, year unknown. Picked up in mens mall for $60. Had them professionally steam cleaned. Nice down here in the South with a fabric vs fake leather. Easier in the heat. Had to create a support system to mate with the GM seat platform. Unfortunately no three point harness or even integrated seat belt. But, dual armrests and recline feature.
Replacing them with Flexsteel seats from GMC found in mens mall near Tampa.

P.S. Mazda seats are going to another GMC.
