Default Why rear seats on tracks

I have yet figured out why the rear seats in my 05 RX330 have tracks. I can bring the rear seats all the way forward so that there is zero leg room. What is the purpose of it?

We have found it useful while having an infant/child car seat installed and needing additional cargo area space.

They also move forward a little when the backrest is folded down. It allows them to lay a little flatter. When both my kids were in boosters, we would push them forward to gain a few inches of hatch space. Just had the seat apart last week to fix a rattle. It is pretty complex.

I was in the same boat as you, OP. I'm 32 and having kids soon. Turned out I bought the GSF. It was a very difficult decision as I wanted the LC and also could afford it.

Best advice I can say is make yourself happy and be realistic. If having space for your wife and your newborn makes you happy, the LC isn't for you.
