rear seats

<< < (2/2)

lambert:
Very safe and also cleverly designed but I would loose way too much space for all the stuff. By the time I have one of them in the back that's 2 or three baby lambs less where as a bench with a sack cloth cover could be stood on or eaten or weed on. Besides it will only be occasional use like the front centre is now.

Jake:
I know what your saying. They are large and would get ruined in a working truck.
Definetly speak with your insurance company first as yours maybe not have a problem with side facing seats.
If so, a nice bench seat is easy to install, seat belts for them are a bit expensive if you do it properly but worth it for passenger safety.

I had an email back from the ministry when I asked this question. It took about 3 months for the reply to come. I have a truck cab and wanted to fit one inward facing seat. The reply basically said...

Yes but need to tell insurers
Fit manufacturers parts
Install should be done by competent person

My bit of advice is.... Dont fit seat belt even lap type as then this becomes MOT issue and could be problem if not forward facing. No seat belt means MOT man has no say.

I will try and find the email they sent me.
