The occupants will have to have very short legs! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

for the kids

for the kids

Has it been tested?

Saving is one thing, kids lives are another

Npinks is bang on, i would not like to think of my kids in the back of mine should it have a rear end shunt from a HGV, the rear area is a crumple zone and i dont mind my suitcase getting crushed but nothing else.

Not april 1st is it

err .... nice welding

I tend to use the cargo net or ratchet straps in the boot when carrying additional children ...

Only when the trailer is full of course

last seat conversion i did myself

It looks unsafe, poorly engineered and not very elegantly installed to me. I don't have kids but I wouldn't put anything of value in that contraption. Insurance companies have a field day with that type of modification. If your kids get injured, you have saved 1300 quid....I would think again if I were you.  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

Sounds like good advice IMO  MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

Jeep 4.0 High Output XJ 94 6" teraflex lift, c/w rear coils, 9500lb winch, 35" TSL super swamper boggers, safari snorkel, custom made bumpers, tom woods custom double cardon driveshaft, twin electric fans. Don't follow it..............you wont make it. The first 4 x 4 by far.

your balls it is totally safe this is what a company over your neck of the woods fits for 2k mine is a more ridged design which is bolted to the chasis

I don't think anybody is having a pop at you and your seating solution (which I now see you have removed the pic) but just airing a general concern over it and it function as a seat with in what could be a crumple zone

No offence was intended on my part

I've seen a better conversion

do a google for Discovery

Good to see some independant thinking and solution but not one for me.
One of the reasons I went for the RRS was it had only had 5 seats. No being used as the local taxi service or the kids wanting to sit in the back all the time with the extra hassle of getting them in and out.

My youngest can have travel sickness sometimes and facing her the opposite way to the direction of travel would certainly make it worse
