Ineed a bench seat for 3 kiddie seats

baby seats don't require the support of an actually seat, thus, you can make a frame to directly tie the seats to the floor.

Good point, which reminded me what I did when my twins were born. We had a Mazda GLC, as in a TINY hatch back. The car seats would NOT fit in a rear facing position in the back seat. Plus it would have taken a contortionist to maneuver a baby into the back seat of a two seat car, and into a car seat. So I folded down the back seat, made a frame to hold the car seats and bolted it into the back. Access to the car seats was through the rear hatch. This worked for a few months until we could afford to change to a small four door car.

Why do you need a seat? baby seats don't require the support of an actually seat, thus, you can make a frame to directly tie the seats to the floor. Once they grow up enough, replace the kid seats with a full size rear seat.

Plus, you can make it close to the floor since they don't have toes... yep, I chuckled about that.

Haha, that was good about the toes. I had thought about the no seat option as well Super Buick, but i thought it would be a little more safe with a seat back of some sort. Might be worth it to build a custom seat base to keep the carseats low and then build a back as well, hhmmmmm.

I honestly think it'd be safer to not compound the protection foam - baby seats are, in all essence, racing seats. Those seats demand solid mounting to non-moving points in a car in order to operate effectively. Of course, that means the seats might not be removeable to move between cars; but given the number of excellent organizations that provide car seats for little or no charge - I don't think that should be the deal breaker.

Best part, IMO, if you design the mounts well enough, you can get booster-racing-seats when they get to that size and mount them to the frame work you build for the baby seats.

I used to have same bench in the rear as JohnnyC - I never tried to mount kid car seats there, as I don't have kids

PM sent to the OP about the whereabouts of said bench
