How to Adjust the Middle Seat in a Seven-Seater Car?

Ensure that your eye level is slightly above the center of the windshield. The adjustment of seat height is primarily for regulating the line of sight. Comfort is the main priority. There is no specific guideline for adjusting the seat back; comfort should be the primary consideration.
I've been driving a seven-seater to pick up my kids for three years, and there are some tricks to adjusting the middle seats. Generally, pulling the strap under the outer side of the seat can recline the backrest, while flipping the lever under the seat and pushing it forward can create a passage to the third row. For sliding-door vehicles, it's even more convenient—there's often a small button with an arrow on the side of the seat; pressing it allows the seat to slide forward or backward by 30-40 cm. When adjusting the seat for elderly passengers, remember to lift both latches under the seat simultaneously to move it smoothly and avoid jamming. For kids, my favorite is the model with independent armrests—pressing the button inside the armrest allows the backrest to recline separately, turning it into a small table. Nowadays, new cars are even smarter. I tried an electric adjustment feature at the dealership—just press the button on the door panel, and the seat automatically moves forward and even rotates.
