Front facing or side facing 3rd row seats?

For those who got Adventure, what 3rd row seat type did you choose? Front facing or side facing. Did you have a particular purpose or reason why you chose one over the other?

hmm.. front facing seats, comfortable (if given enough legroom) but only 2 can ride and baggage area is limited. side facing, jeepney-like position, if it brakes you'll like, fly. but it can ride more people and more baggage. depends on your purpose. you can get front facing seats and a roof rack for cargo purposes

Side facing seats are ideal for frequent hauling like that of balikbayan boxes and a choice to accommodate 4 people when needed. IMO Front facing is somewhat pilit for AUV’s unless they’re equipped with 3 P ELR seatbelts like regular vans and SUV’s.

right Front facing pamng pamilya na di lalampas sa pito
sideways pagn negosyo at pangkarga at pampamilyang di lalampas sa siyam na sakay
tsip front facing para mas masaya puwedeng humiga sa likod

Ingress/egress pahirap sa front facing.

Never know when u need the space, kaya side facing pa rin ako.

Cyempre, no kids sa likod. Also, always keep your hands on the handle. Mas maganda pa nga dun nakakapag unat ng paa.

Front facing for passengers but side facing if you need it for cargo.

front facing:

mas comfortable pero almost sa sahig ka na naka upo.

dalawa lang makaka sakay.

ang hirap pumasok/lumabas.

hassle mag fold up ng 2nd row seats and masikip ang advie.

less cargo.

isa yan sa mga reasons why hindi ko pina convert trooper namin.

Anyone who has tried to replace the 3rd row seats with front facing ones?

From 9 seater to 7 seater?

Front facing. Mas maayos ang pagkasandal ng passenger, nakakangalay ang side-facing kapag long trips. Kapag may baggage naman, pwede mo pa din ifold yung front-facing seats. Nabawasan nga lang ng ~10% storage capacity.

May mga kilala akong nagpaconvert from side-facing to front-facing. Same lang yung hole at thread na kailangan para maikabit pareho.
