For 2013, the RAV4 underwent a revamp, although it wasn’t a nice one. The fact that the 2D & 2P buckles are now mostly rigid and can’t be pulled out of the way of the center seat, unlike in the 2013 when they were on a fairly long seat belt webbing stalk and were very flexible as a result, makes the extreme overlap between 2D and 2C (specifically, the seat belt for 2C starts 5 inches into 2D) worse. Due to this modification, it will no longer be able to install a car seat or booster in either 2D or 2C and still have space on the other seat (2D or 2C) to accommodate a person, car seat, or booster as of 2014. In fact, Toyota explicitly forbade having someone or something ride in 2D for the years 2013 to 2015 in their instruction manual if 2C was being used as a car seat (as the car seat would sit on top of 2D’s seat belt buckle) or if there was a car seat installed in 2D as the car seat in 2D would block proper routing of 2C’s seat belt and could harm the person in 2C.
The back seat converts to a two-seater when there are 2 children travelling in it, and they usually sit in 2D & 2P. If there are two or more children in booster seats or car seats, there is NO SAFE WAY to fit three crosswise in this vehicle. We STRONGLY advise against buying a RAV4 or NX for this model year range since it frequently cannot securely accommodate three passengers in the rear seat (kids plus adults).
When a person is seated, the central head restraint must be raised to offer whiplash protection.
The roof is where the middle seatbelt comes from.
