You can also fold down the 3rd row and slide it out the back. That way you don’t have to do the awkward maneuvering over the seat.

I had to laugh at this video. The struggle is real. Jill vs. Magic Seat! We need to see the re-match!!! 😍😀😍

I owned a Honda Odyssey Elite back in 2010 when my kids were little. I traded it for a large SUV. I remember taking that middle seat out, and it sat in my garage for as long as I owned the car. I just bought a Chrysler Pacifica as a secondary car for road trips, traveling to the beach, taking the dogs to the vet, etc. If you need to frequently reconfigure your car because you are moving things and people, get the Pacifica. The ability to very easily stow the seats and make the back completely flat is just an awesome feature. I can't imagine having to drag those heavy seats in and out of the car. If you have little kids in car seats, I think the Odyssey or the Sienna is a great option. If you have older kids out of car seats, and you use the minivan more for moving things, get the Pacifica.

Accurate. It’s definitely not something you’d want to do everyday. Once you have that middle seat out, though, those magic slide seats are truly magical! ~Child Passenger Safety Technician (and Dan Ashley’s daughter!)

Most genuine video out there. Kudos to you my friend. Well done!

Thank you for this information! I just bought an Odyssey and didn't know the seats slide!

I'm most impressed that neither of the outer seats appear to have been scratched by dragging the sides and bottom of the middle seat over the surfaces.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! It shows real life where people try to do these ‘easy tasks’ but they end up being so much harder lol Loved when the door was locked, I said to myself, ‘my luck’ 😂😂😂

Wish they folded into the floor like Chrysler

Thanks for posting an HONEST review of the seat removal!

thank you for the realism of this action.

Obviously lifting weights is not enough. You need to lift Honda Seats if you really want to buff out.☠☠ And you wonder why I love this channel... You are just precious.

Thank you for showing your struggle. I can relate. This odious task is upcoming for my minivan journey. I’ll probably forego removing the stow and go seats and opt for a rooftop cargo carrier.

Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you!! 😃🙏👍

Ok, I’m heading out to my can to take out this very seat!! Thank you!

love how real she is

Can't wait to watch the video of you removing the magic seat.

thank you for this video... this is soooo me and realistic!

Cutest seats review ever!

This is much easier for most men. I have removed and installed this few times, very easy.

I heard the seats don't slide side to side anymore after the recall repairs.

Jill....again, always informative with a dash of humor to keep things from being boring. (maybe more free weights at the gym? bulk up?) :-)

I prefer how the Kia Carnival has that center console that can be pushed all the way back... I purchased a Kia; but they didn't actually have the car they sold me; and so I went and purchased a Honda... Only thing I prefer on a Kia.. that center that slides forward and backwards; way more useful than the Honda magic seats.

I had an original Dodge mini van. Two bench seats if memory serves,no party.

Accurate, but she has clearly not taken seats out of my van. Way easier than the Nissan NV seats.

Seat itself is light compared to 2018 model Odyssey (triple the weight) :)

Thanks 😂

Lord have mercy

nice try!😍

You don't have to take it out.. There's a space Infront of the seats at the bottom where that seat can hide underground.. You're clearly no aware of the features and never read the manual

Is it just me the fact that you have to remove the second row completle rather than fold if down flat is stupid

I am female, used to be an athlete, 5'5" don't really lift anymore, I had no problem lifting it. When you're 95 lbs it's not really accurate to make a general comparison to all females, you're on the low end of the spectrum for size. It came out easily for me and I carried it upstairs to my bedroom with no problem! I agree it's not something I would want to do everyday, maybe 2x year or something because its awkward to carry

got it.... another reason to NOT buy a Honda Odyssey.... In Dodge/Chrysler vans, 2nd row drop into the floor. Much easier.

😂

Oh wow …. Great effort you managed to lift that thing and put it back again…. Now Who needs a gym

cutie

so fun to see you whatever 😂👍

Now do this same video but in summertime wearing a bikini and you'll get 1 million likes....😊

You’re so dramatic 😂

Lol 95 lbs

95 lbs...mhm

I didnt like this video because you didn show how to remove that middle seat belt so it can go into the ceiling.

It's 40 lbs

Women...

I'm sorry but this was embarrassing and way to contribute to sexist stereotypes.
