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

Seat cushion has an uncomfortable contour at rear of seat and the armrests are uncomfortable. see full Toyota Sienna review

At $35,000 I think it could be much better. Hurts more than my Tacoma 4X4 after a long drive. see full Toyota Sienna review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Toyota Highlander

2014 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Toyota replaced the 2013 Highlander's rear struts with control arms to enable a three-inch-wider third-row seat, and then used the extra space to cram in a third seating position. So if you need seats for eight people, only the Highlander will do in this threesome. A top-of-the-line Santa Fe only seats six. Other eight-pass options include the Honda Pilot and GM's large crossovers. But those three people best be small, as the Highlander doesn't have nearly as much rear legroom as the Pathfinder or the Santa Fe. To fit children of even middling size in the third row it's necessary to slide the second row well forward. The second row seat cushion is mounted too low for adult comfort. The Nissan's second row suffers from a similar shortcoming, but the Hyundai's does not. see full Toyota Highlander review

Perfect for two car seats. Really neat trick - the middle seat for the 2nd row rolls up into the center console. I did not remove it nor attempt to sit in it but that does make the 3rd row more likely to be used for those with car seats. I did not attempt to sit in the 3rd row (looked at it before folding into the floor for cargo space for the entire trip) so cannot opine on it. Use at your own risk. see full Toyota Highlander review
