Scoutkid now has a... Vankid? Ideas for rear seats I can put a kid seat in

[Jsweezy]

Familyvan - thanks that's a slick setup!

Thanks they have other seats that are more comfortable and recline.
scoutkid! I look forward to what you do as I enjoyed following you build the first time

Congrats! Love that expression!

Thanks!

Skip LATCH and go with a ClickTight seat. LATCH is limited to something like 65lbs including the seat itself which can easily weigh 25 or more pounds. ClickTight? Limited to the seatbelt strength. Side bonus, you literally cannot screw up the installation and it works with any seatbelt from pretensioners to old skool lap belts. All the locking is done within the Click Tight system.

Downside, they are spendy. I have more wrapped up into the car seats (infant + spare base and two convertible seats) than I paid for both cars :lol:

I think I have one of those - who knows. I have so much more stuff in my house now than I ever thought I'd have...

Here it is in the up position. I have two rows of them

That is DAMN cool! What a space saver!

Thanks! Since the pressure is on I'll try not to disappoint!

familyvan, if you don't mind my asking, what did you pay? And where did you get them?

Ordered directly from freedmanseating.com. They were roughly $850 a seat. That price will vary with the options you choose like fabrics and armrests. The ones that do not fold are less expensive.

:lol:

I know that feeling. Wife has a picture of me passed out around month 7 after spending the day wrapping baby shower gifts, assembling furniture etc...

Just wait until you step on a Lego at 2am...

How about these with a 5 point harness? They came with my dune buggy when I bought it.
