The conventional middle seat is safer in a crash, especially with
headrests.  In the later models you also get a shoulder belt for the
seat near the window.  Personally, I don't care to ride backwards in a
jumpseat, and  I really miss having an armrest.

The main advantage of the jumpseats is that the lower part can be
quickly tilted up to create more floor space for hauling things and the
seats can be removed completely very easily if you want to move a
piano.  BTDT

When the PO of my 91 GL installed jumpseats, he attached the proper
brackets to the bases of the fronts seats, etc., but on the floor, he
just poked the bottom pins thru the carpet and into the (rather
substantial) padding.  I had the van about a year before I realized that
there were no metal sockets down there.  Still haven't gotten motivated
enough to do anything about it.
