Stow away seats minivan

Pull the carpet that is in front of the seat upwards with both of your hands, and place it to the side. It's preferable to place these carpets outside the vehicle when you do so, but after a few times, you'll be able to determine just how much space you'll need to use to be able to find a place to put these. Pulling up the carpeting, will expose the cabinets that will later hold your seats.

Ensure that both headrests are down. If there is a lever or pull-cord to fold these headrests down, pull it until the headrest have been completely folded down. You may have to push the headrest into it's closing position.

Pull the lever that folds the middle seat's seat-back into a folded position. The lever is on the side of the seat.

Take notice of the knob on the floor slightly underneath the seat. It should be just noticeable to the untrained eye.

Push on the cabinet-door from the back, and hold it back. Doing this will expose an area that is able to accompany the seat.

Pull backwards on the knob. This should free the seats from their locked and upright position. It will also cause the seat to fall frontwards slightly.

Push on the back of the seat. The seat should "roll over" onto it's back.

Release the handle to the cabinet door you should be holding onto now, once the seat has been properly stowed into the basket.

Repeat this process with the other seat, assuming you need the space to do both seats.Do the same with the other side seat, if you need to.
