Is it possible? And would a third car seat fit in the bench if one was a booster seat?

It's surprising that there is only one other post asking about this. Has anyone had the whole assembly apart to 100% prove it doesn't work?

I'd probably swap my bench for captains if it was possible.

I'd love to know too, I would prefer the captains chairs.

It is possible, as someone has done the reverse (bench to captains chairs).

The driver and passenger side have LATCH, the middle seat can only be installed with a seatbelt.

Hey there. I found someone online with a 2022 ST 2nd row bench seat willing to swap with me for my 2023 2nd row captain's chairs. Before I pull the trigger on the swap, can you tell me, were the middle seat holes already in the frame to bolt the bench seat down? How bad was it tearing up the carpet to bolt in the bench seat? Thanks for your help.
