The center seat is attached to a pair of rails mounted on the floor. You
remove the
seat by removing four bolts and sliding the seat out. You may have to
remove the carpet
and padding in order to do this.

I have installed the center seat backwards and it works ok for children.
When mounted
backwards there is not much leg room between the back and middle seats
so it is a bit
tight for adults. The children, however, like it alot.
