# 7 More holes
Remove the floor carpets, and you find two trap doors. When you pull on the eyelets in those doors, the latter fold in two and a mechanism even keeps them open for your convenience. Thus is revealed another sinkhole for you to fill with things. It holds plastic bins into which you can place any number of things.
However if it’s seats you want to fit in there, you’ll have to remove the bins. Once that’s done, it’s time to play again with numbered straps to set off the choreography that ends with the seats in the floor. Now you only need to put back the trap doors and then the carpeting (and make sure not to forget the removed bins by the side of the road). Now your minivan starts to look very much like a real live moving van.
# 8 Another exception
In the case of the Pacifica hybrid, while the third-row seats in that version fold into the floor, the second-row ones don't due to the battery lodged in the floor. You can only fold down the seat backs, or else remove them entirely from the vehicle. They’re pretty heavy, so you’ll want to be careful not to throw out your back (and also, you really don’t want to forget these by the side of the road!).
