Default Additional seats



I found this surfing the net...A company called "little seats" (you can do a general search on the net) offers a rear jumper seat or a third row bench..They arent made for adults, rather for kids..Thought this might be a cool addition for some...Thanks...

Looks like that wouldn't do much for protection in an accident; Maybe the bench is better...

The full rear seat they make looks like it would function better. Someone on the list has the rear seat.

You just gotta lift the jeep high enough that the incoming car goes under the kids. Problem solved. I'll take my 5 cents now.

Hey aldaman, that's my Jeep. I have photos of the other seat configurations available thru littleseats.com in my project jk gallery (they tested it out on my Jeep). I opted for the jump seat config. cause it doesn't take up alot of room (folds up) and I have extra seating in a pinch (I'm 5'2" and I fit back there).

Not very much. It looked like maybe 8" of leg room. I guess it's fine if your under 4'5". There was a little bit more leg room when the bench is facing rear, but the most leg room is definitely the side configuration.

I like the look of there seat...but I like my end result better.
Smaller, stuffs behind the sub, and was a little cheaper to install. ($20+)
Yes, it retains the seat belt for safety.
I don't, and wouldn't put anyone back there for a long period of time.
But in pinch, running down to the ballfield or up to the school it's perfect.
Here's the link to my install:
