If you think you’re the only one outgrowing your 7 passenger minivan think again!
The fact is, we at CSO Radio get requests almost daily from growing families on whether they can add a jump seat to the 2nd row.
The good news is that it can be done. Not only for the Dodge Grand Caravan , Chrysler Town & Country and now the Chrysler Pacifica , but for most other 7 passenger minivans as well.
If you’re handy enough, you can even install it yourself!
For details about getting one installed or if you can’t wait to know more, jump ahead to our FAQ page.
If you’ve already asked all your questions and are ready to purchase, our purchase page is over HERE
Here’s a pic of an installation on a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country
…and here is a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica
Can that be done to a Chrysler Pacifica hybrid ?
We have not done the Hybrid yet. We are waiting for a guinea pig to bring one to our shop in Lakewood, NJ
Have you found your hybrid Guinea pig yet? If so did it work and can you do another.
Yes. We finally did! We have done several already
How do you get one of these seats I live in Canada but really need an 8th seat looked everywhere online can’t find it
It is available now on Amazon. Type in “Extra Folding Seat for Van ” (in quotes)
How in nissan quest 2016
I believe the Quest can be done. From what I recall, there is some very thick padding beneath the carpet but once you cut through it, you can drill the floor and install the rivet-nuts.
Just be very careful not to go further than through the floor as the fuel tank may be not far away.
Can the stow-N-go bucket seats still slide forward, fold flat or flip up so that passenger can get into the 3rd row seat?
Kevin,
Sorry for the late reply.
If you still need help with this please email me at cs@csoradio.com
Chaim
was this question ever answered? Do the stow and go bucket seats still operate normally with this additional seat installed?
Only on the Pacifica they do.
On the Town & Country and Caravan, the jump seat gets in the way as the captain seats need to slide inward.
Once you remove the seat though (with tools) it will work as before.
Do you make the seat with a headrest?
Sorry for the late reply.
If you still need help with this please email me at cs@csoradio.com

Do you have a video of the installation on YouTube?

Hi – my wife and I are considering your option to add a 3rd seat to the second row of our 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. We have six kids ranging 1-13. Does the middle seat have anchors for a car set?
Thanks,

Not easily but it can be taken out carefully with a socket wrench when necessary
How much the cost is..?

Can a bench seat be installed in the second row of a 2013 Dodge grand caravan?
Ours is not a bench, it’s a neat jump seat that fits between the existing captain seats.
…technically, a bench could be added but it would look horrible and would be a lot more expensive.
I only want a temp inexpensive option for a seat for my Suc??? Any suggestions
If it helps, you might be able to just add a seatbelt to the back row nd squeeze in another kid
Have you installed on a Pacifica hybrid yet? If so I am interested to know more
Not yet. We are anxiously waiting for a candidate!
I’m looking for something like this for my 2005 ford freestar, do you have something that will work?
We haven’t done the Freestar. It is a smaller vehicle so I would wonder how much space you have.
If you’d like, you can email pictures to cs@csoradio.com
Can I add a additional 8 seat in Dodge Grand Caravan 2017.

Considering it for my 2011 Kia Sedona will it fir in?

Any questions, email cs@csoradio.com

Able to be done to 2015 nissen quest
Most likely yes but because of the thick floor padding on those, it will be a bit tricky.
We have done them in our shop in NJ
I too would like one for a 2015 Nissan Quest
It should be possible for someone very handy to do.
can that be done in Toyota sienna 2009
Yes. It can be done. Although we don’t have step by step picture instructions as we do on the Chrysler, we do them routinely.

Can you add a jumpseat in 2018 Dodge that has a short bench in the center???
Yes. You can put the jump seat between the bench and the door. It must be installed a bit forward of the bench so that the shoulder belt can still be used for the first bench passenger and to allow access to the back. We don’t have exact instructions but we have done it many times in our shop in New Jersey.

Hello, I was wondering if you have gotten any feedback as far as insurance goes after having this done. I really want one but am worried about liability.
We have had customers call their insurance company and add it to their policy and it was not a problem.
Just came to be the Nth person to ask about the Pacifica Hybrid. Any news??
The good news is that we should be doing one in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to finally having a solution for all you Hybrid people.
Thanks for the response. I’m interested in the hybrid addition of jump seat as well. Please update if it can be done. I’m based out of California.
Yes. The Hybrid can be done. We did in fact do one recently. The Hybrid does require a bit of drilling
Do you have a picture of the seats installed on a dodge caravan 2016?
The picture of the black seats in the blog post is the same as a 2016 Dodge Caravan
Do you have an option for something like a “quick-release” on these, so you don’t have to remove bolts, etc and the seat can be easily removed/added on an as-needed basis?
Unfortunately not. Only with bolts. Sorry

Does installing 8th seat in Pacifica Hybrid have any impact on the battery and its warranty?
The drilling positions of our installation were specifically chosen to eliminate risk of effecting the battery.
As such, there should not be any issues with the warranty of the battery – if installed properly.
That being said, the dealer might request that you remove the seat before validating any warranty issues.
Do the middle stow-n-go seats fold down or slide forward with your seat installed? How easy is it to get to the back row with your seat installed?
The 2nd row seats can still slide forward and fold down, just not into the floor.
Do you sell a replacement second row middle seat for a 2018 Pacifica that is originally for 8 passenger? We bought ours used and it was missing the middle seat.
No sorry. Best source for that would probably be car-part.com
Hi! I’m looking for a 2nd town jump seat in black leather. We live in Pittsburgh, pa. Is it possible to purchase this from you?
For the Chrysler pacific hybrid 8th seat orders, I noticed you stated that it would not affected the battery if installed properly, but it does require a bit of drilling. Do you provide the seating plate to be drilled and instructions on how? Alternatively is it possible to get installation done at the NJ shop?
Yes, we provide the instructions, the steel hardware that supports the seat as well as the steel rivet-nuts that secure the seat to the floor. We can do the installation here in NJ if you’d like.
Is this something that can work for a 2006 dodge caravan??
Yes
I have 2018 Pacifica Touring L. With jump seat installed will I be able to stow n go other two seats on second row as normal
Yes
I take it from all the former comment that it likely works in a 2008 town+country. Wondering the cost to ship to Manitoba Canada
There is an additional $90 charge to ship to Canada plus whatever customs there may be (there shouldn’t be any as it is made in the USA)
$685 + $90
Can this seat work for a 2008 Toyota Sienna xle (only configured for 7 seats) with the large captain seats?
It can – though we don’t have exact picture instructions. We can guide the installer verbally.
Do you have a video or instructions for installing in a 2016 Doge Grand Caravan esp with the stow and Go seats as the kids will need to be able to get into the back.
Here is a link to instructions. You can also get this of the FAQ page
https://blog.csoradio.com/installer-page/

Do you have an 8th seat option for a Nissan Quest?

How can I get one for my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT all the way in California?

Hello! How complex is the install in a Pacifica Hybrid? In the chicago area – open to any installers you recommend also.
The installation does need someone very handy on that vehicle.
There is the need to measure and drill carefully so as not to hit the fuel tank or the battery.
There are clear instructions and rideusa.info
You can try this map of possible installers. Point them though to instructions as they probably have not done the hybrid yet
