Reportedly the effort to fold the seats down or lift them up is effortless, and the headrests don't even need to be removed to do so. I reviewed the "Stow 'n Go" in great detail in a Dodge Caravan preview, which is worth a read if you're interested in just how advanced the seats, and the respective storage solutions that come as part of the package, are. Altogether it's a revolutionary system that will place the Town & Country squarely on the path to even greater market dominance.

It would probably have been enough if the new seating system was the only improvement made to Chrysler Group's 2005 vans, but not willing to merely move forward in giant size leaps thirteen additional features add versatility to what is already an extremely versatile minivan. Most noticeable on the inside is Chrysler's removable overhead rail system, another minivan first. It boasts three movable/removable storage bins, rear temperature controls and the dual monitors for the model's best-in-class optional DVD entertainment system.

Why do I say best-in-class? The two TV screens will end annoying seat shuffling for best position, no doubt, but most importantly it's also easiest to use for parents, being that the system's controls are situated up front on the dash. DVD sound can also be separated to headphones for the kids, while adults can listen to the radio or a CD over the speaker system. It's not the only van to offer any of these features, but it's the only one I've tested that incorporates all of them in such a convenient format.
