Maybe it is for safety. What's the point of 60/40 then?

 

I guess you can still have one person on the far left that way. Otherwise it would be 100/0 and you'd flip the whole seat down, or 40/20/40, which is kind of pointless. I don't know, I'm just talkin'...

 

I agree the fabric is hard to keep clean. I invested in a small brush and dust pan set similar to the ones in the link below. Makes it quick and easy to whisk the stuff on the floor to help the car look tidy again. Sure beats vacuuming all the time!

I think the main purpose of the magic seat is for people like me who are trading in a Ridgeline for the Fit. Kind of like acclimating fish to their new tank. I used my flip up seat so much I wouldn't know what to do without one.

 

I want to buy a plant just to use it.
