You have the option of either extra seats or extra space depending on the situation. This feature no doubt makes the vehicle more versatile, but which minivans have them, and how do they work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Brands Have Stow-and-Go Seats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The original Stow &lsquo;n Go system was installed in Chrysler minivans in 2004. Since then, the company has installed the space-saving seats in their other minivan models such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chrysler\/pacifica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pacifica\">Pacifica<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chrysler\/voyager\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Voyager\">Voyager<\/a>. Other companies have followed suit with their own versions of the system, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/toyota\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Toyota\">Toyota<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/kia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Kia\">Kia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stow &lsquo;n Go system, which is now commonly found in models of the Chrysler Voyager, have seats that fold down neatly into the floor. Dodge also uses this system for their Caravan line. Kia slides its seats to the side and Toyota has their own system of storing the seats under the floor using a different system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Use Stow-and-Go Seats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stow &lsquo;n Go minivan seats are easy to use, and learning the process is quick and painless. This process might differ depending on the model of your minivan and the different mechanisms from different companies. These instructions are specifically for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chrysler\/town-and-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chrysler Town &amp; Country\">Chrysler Town &amp; Country<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/dodge\/grand-caravan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dodge Grand Caravan\">Dodge Grand Caravan<\/a>, but other stow-and-go systems should function similarly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps also vary a bit depending on if you&rsquo;re trying to stow the middle or back row of seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-chrysler-pacifica-minivan-stow-n-go-seats-1024x723.jpg\" alt=\"2019 chrysler pacifica minivan stow n go seats image\" class=\"wp-image-86369\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-chrysler-pacifica-minivan-stow-n-go-seats-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-chrysler-pacifica-minivan-stow-n-go-seats-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-chrysler-pacifica-minivan-stow-n-go-seats-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-chrysler-pacifica-minivan-stow-n-go-seats-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-chrysler-pacifica-minivan-stow-n-go-seats.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>The original Stow &lsquo;n Go system was installed in Chrysler minivan models in 2004, such as the Pacifica and Voyager.
