Rear seats in 95' 110

[Snail Bait]

Hi all, I have a 300Tdi 110 wagon 95' model, with two young children and with twins on the way. I would like to know if anyone has installed foward facing seats in the third row position? Is it even possible? Can you get such seats?
Thanks in advance, Adam.

Hey Adam.
people have had them installed. There are places that have installed them.
I would imagine you need an engineers cert.

Hi,

I have just bought a '99 110 Td5 and will be interested to see feed back as I will be doing same thing. I want to put one seat on passenger side. If I see anything of interest I will let you know.

Hey Adam and welcome. It can be done and there are many threads about it on here so search is your friend.
I have 4 kids so can sympathise with you. If you can get one, a centre front seat can be fitted easily but you loose your cubby box (to be kept for the future!). I did this, and I also fitted a "h" harness with the front lap belt.

Works well and is good for the kids riding up front.

Hope this helps.

I'm going to look into the centre front seat, I will try and find a second hand one. Thanks.

Assuming you mean load area seats.

I've been looking at this for both a TD5 Defender and a new PUMA defender. As far as I can tell there are two parts to this - the seats themselves and then the seat belts. Doing this as a custom job is likely to be very expensive.

Exmoor trim make a European certified Load area seat set that include the required seat belt mounts etc. It's not cheap though - I'd best guess $3000+. However you will end up with better quality seats than the factory 3rd row seat set from a Puma.

You may or may not need an engineering certificate depending on your state. Perhaps in VIC you might get away with it as you may be legally allowed to install an officially engineered seat kit etc.

Alternatively - you might have some luck with a Van outfitter who might have something off the shelf with seat belts built into the frame.

I too thought of this, BUT

- The child in the middle will only have a lap belt, there are no lap sash belt options for a center front seat.
- The child is going to need dental work or knee work when you knock their teeth out during a gear change.
