The 3rd row seats have enough leg room and the seats themselves are well built. That said, I have not tried the 3rd row seats of close competitors like the Odyssey see full Toyota Sienna review |

The Sienna is an excellent family vehicle if interior space and overall capability are your priorities. It is comfortable for long family drives and you NEVER run out of space in this car. see full Toyota Sienna review |

I have the CE which does not have adjustable lumbar support or 8-way adjustments. The seat has a fixed height, which is a bit too high for me. Also the seat is a bit too deep. see full Toyota Sienna review |

I had an old large dog who loved car rides, and this car was lower to the ground to allow her easier access, and the backseat was very comfortable and spacious for her. Human guests also appreciated the more spacious rear seat room and comfort, though for the past year or 2 I have completely removed the rear seats in favor of even more cargo room (and the excuse not to transport people). see full Nissan Versa review |

The seats are very comfortable. Made of squishy dense foam: not too hard but still supportive enough. I have reclined and slept in the front passenger seat overnight several times. see full Nissan Versa review |
