My son accidentally pressed the button on the top of the 2nd row seat that unlocks it and results in it flipping forward and flat. Unfortunately, this was the button for the seat where his car seat is installed, so obviously the seat couldn't flip forward; it remained in place, but unlocked itself from the hinge its secured to. So now I'm getting a warning in the cluster that the 2nd row seat is unlocked. His car seat is a hassle to remove and re-install. Does anyone know of a way to relock the seat into place without actually having to have it flip forward?

TIA!

I've had something similar happen in the third row. I was able to use the switch to get it back up, but sometimes it needed a helping push or pull to overcome the resistance of the car seat and latch.

What do you mean get it back up? It's not folded at all (cuz of the carseat). It's just unlocked from the "locked in place" position.

Try pulling the red handle on the back of the seat. That should reset the latch that holds it to the floor when you rock it back into position.
