it's not a bench it's 3 seats, I have one and it's got 2 smaller (than yours) seats on sides and an even smaller one in the middle that you can mount in a forward position right behind the center console

not sure that I like the 8 passenger thing now, to get into the 3rd row we have to fold some seats, it's more like a 2 door car now

I'm thinking to remove one of the seats in the 2nd row

I'd be interested in the middle "bench" too.. if it could get wrapped in Leather.

Floor pan is different for 8 passenger vehicles.
Most likely there are hard points and mounting capabilities that differ between the two.
Good luck

Your problem is now my problem.

We have a 2005 Sienna - and love it...really great vehicle. We would like to go on a trip this summer with another family - but are short 1 seat.

We currently have the captains chairs in the middle row (7 passenger model) - but would like to acquire some sort of (perhaps after-market) product to sit between the captains chairs ...as an extra small seat. Ideally this small seat would be for a young child or baby car seat.

There are 2 slots in the floor between the captains seats - so it seems like these could be easily utilized to anchor down a seat very safely. Someone out there must make an after-market small bench for this you would think...but who?? (I am guessing althought that most are scared of lawsuits that could arise from accidents)

Any thoughts?

You may want to check local scrap yard. Spalding auto parts in Spokane, WA has a grey 2nd row seat(s). They want $300. You can find them online. I too am looking to convert my 04 sienna to a 8 passanger. I'm looking for tan. Thanks

Not gonna happen, the whole floor pan is different. Also theres no seat belt on the RH C pillar area.,
