Seating for 2+3

Post by TonyBongo » Mon May 23, 2016 9:08 am

My Bongo has been gathering dust while having three kids, but now want to get camping again.

I've got a 2, 4 and 6 year old, and a '95 Bongo with reversed middle seats. Any suggestions for seating arrangements in the back for the kids?

Thanks

Tony

Hi Tony,
What rear seat do you have? Personally, i qoulsn't be happy taking my kids rear facing with just lap belts, but that is my preferance.
My van had reversed middle row with a rear conversion when i bought it, but as i have a young family (2yo + 7day old!) I wanted proper 3 point belts. So i ripped the whole lot out, fitted rear seats and made a mid conversion.
The other alternative is to fit a swivel to the middle row, not cheap (i couldn't afford it), but it has thr benefit of allowing the original belts to be used.

Sounds perfect as it is!

Perhaps slide the bench further back as well, to increase the tranquility in the front...
