Did anyone ever figure out how to get the captain chair to slide forward like that at the 5:40 marker?

Interference with 3rd Row Folding
Hello all - I have a X7 on the way with captains chairs, although just realized something - in videos of the way the third row folds down, it looks like the second row seats need to move forward first before the third row will fold. Does this interfere with a car seat that is attached with the top tether (seeing as the tether is on the floor and therefore looks like it will interfere with the forward movement of the seat)? What happens if the second row seat cannot move and you try to fold the third seat, does it refuse to move or does the car try to force it?
Lots of people talking about folding the seat itself, but few speaking about folding the third row. Thanks for your help! |

if there's a little slack in the tether, it's typically fine. every seat I've put in has said to pull it, but don't wrench it down tight. I've not had any trouble with my diono in place

I've been shopping this vehicle for the past 2 weeks since we found out the wife is pregnant with the 3rd child.
The only other vehicle were shopping is the Escalade. Love the size but we dislike everything else about it. I'm trying to decide between bench and captains chairs. Not sure what to do with chair seat configurations. Kids in the house hold currently 15yr old, 2.5 yr old and baby expected end of September.

We have 3 kids, a 4 year old and twin 3 year olds. All are in forward facing car seats in our X7. We have captain’s chairs, and the 3 year olds are in the 3rd row, and the 4 year old is in one of the captain’s chairs. This allows the other captain’s chair to move/tilt forward to easily access the third row (and is grandma’s chair if she goes with us). The set up works great and no complaints from the kids.

Since one of the captain’s chairs doesn’t have a car seat, we just move/tilt that one for access to the third row, and leave the child seat tethered to the other chair. I haven’t tried to tilt the captain’s chair with the child seat in it, but I don’t think it would move very much aside from sliding forward, and that’s assuming you untethered it each time.

Only other option is to put the 2.5yr old in the 3rd row so my 15yr old can occupy one of the captains chairs. I just don't know if it'll be struggle buckling my 2.5yr old in the 3rd row. Sorry this is all so new to us with the 3rd child in the way. Never thought we would ever need a 3 row vehicle lol.

there's enough room to get IN with the middle seat rocked forward, but getting back out can be a little awkward sometimes. It's def a lot easier with my 5 year old who's been buckling his own seatbelt for a year.
