Hi:
I had a FX35, but had to sell it since the baby in the family.
I don't want to drive a van, then I'm looking at the QX56.

from the pictures I found on line, there are some QX56 have the center stack in the middle of second row(like the cup holder stack)
I was wondering if this can be remove if necessary, then the people can be access to the third row easily.
is this an option from the Infiniti? some QX are come with all seats on 2nd row.
how to choose?
please give me an idea..

Thanks

Yes!!!! You are talking about the second row "Captain's Chairs" vs: the Bench. Same thing when I purchased my Armada Platinum, you could get the two chairs with the center console, or all 3 seats. It is great because you can fit a child seat in the middle, that way mommy can hop back there if you have two kids in the back. I actually have our 4 yr old on the passenger side, and our 2 yr old right in the middle. Works out awesome. I do believe the QX56 is a little harder to find with the bench, but they are out there. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I should add that you can pull the center console out, and that would simply leave a walkway inbetween the seats.

Thanks,what I like is the walkway to the third row.
I am thinking to place the both children in the back, and leave the walkway. so, whenever my parents get on board, then I can remove the center console on the second row, they can easy to walk to third row..

That would work out! The center stack pops out very easily from a release lever inside of the console.

Timmbo,
I need a middle seat for a 2006 qx56 within the month (currently have two buckets). I have 2 kids with one on the way and I do not want to put one in the very back at this point because they are all under age 3 and I am not ready for that. I have contacted what feels like every parts place including a the infiniti parts online and an infiniti store. No one can help me and have told me that it is not possible. But I read your reply and see that it is possible. Who should I contact? Please help.

I don't believe it is all that feasible. You would almost have to find a junked one like yours and purchase the whole back seat, and even then we cannot be 100% certain it will work.

I couldn't find anything online that helped with the 2011 and 2012 model Infiniti QX56 and removing the center console. So I posted instructions on how to do it here:

Hi, I am new to this site and I would really love for someone to help me. I have a 2006 Nissan Armada LE with bucket seat but looking for a bench seat since I am expecting really soon. I have called junk yards and Nissan but no luck. I am looking for a dark grey leather bench seat. Help is greatly appreciated.
