3rd AND 4th seats in a vette
:eek: ya you heard me. Is this legal? I was thinking that the rear seat of a wrangler jeep would fit perfectly between the fenders. You couldnt get an adult back there but two kids no problem. What do you think?

You will have a hard time getting a secure anchor point for seat belts.
Other than that. I want to see the swollen noggins after you hit the first bump, and the kids heads meet the glass.... :smash:

That's a funny idea...the wife and I have been entertaining the idea of having a child and she (not me) said "what about the vette...it's only a 2 seater!" I said "we could always get a convertible '69 Camaro.". I don't think I'll add a bench seat to the back of my vette though! :lol:

Another angle would be the Gross vehicle weight issue. The Vette can only carry about 500 lbs or so. With two passangers at say 200# each leaves only 100# for luggage and other things. Not quite enough to add in another seat assembly and two more (small) passangers.

Dear battsup,
Believe it or not, but a bloke here in Australia has done just that with a '79, I think. I have a photo of it somewhere, but not the knowledge to put it on the screen. (check my column on the left). He has seatbelts and one of those chameleon paint schemes . It's not my cup of tea, but different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Regards from Down Under

A guy I work with down the hall had a 63 SWC in 66/67 and after they had their 1st baby, he attatched some straps in the back to hold the baby carrier. :eek:
I've read my 74 manual and it suggests strapping a basinett in the passenger seat. So the baby can lay in the basinett loose? We're all lucky to still be here after all of the pick up rides etc. :yesnod:
