I never paid attention to mine but this got me curious. Since we use ours daily and frequently use the back seat, I already knew the passenger seat would lay forward on the dash. So I figured it wasn't there.
I looked and sure enough it was actually there. Someone had disconnected the lower half and looped it up to the upper connection. I guess they didn't like it. Looking at it now, it does appear rather short, so not sure I even want to hook it back up. It's nice to lay the seat all the way forward to access the back. I may temporarily hook it up for giggles just to check it but it looks like it will limit the seat from at least half of it's movement making rear seat access more difficult.
