Ah ha!  A folding middle seat! I thought that might be it.  I just take it
out when I need the bed.  The one thing I have to say about taking the
middle seat in and out: watch out for your poor carpet!   It didn't do
anything to you, don't tear it-it may be brittle like Totoro's.  Also, if I
am careful I don't have to remove the door sill to get the seat.

ps, I wouldn't dream of giving that seat back, it is soooo great to seat 7
people.  Thanks again!
