Francie 6,362 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Anyone have any experience of putting a third seat in a small van? Iv a wee kangoo van there but wouldn't mind adding a third seat in back as we've few fishing trips planned. I checked it out its legal anyway lol But it would be s bit tight for space, doesn't matter the mate will be in the back lol. What seat would be best, it would need a seatbelt also. Hopefully someone can help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
