Since selling my rear bench seat, I'm finding that it's a little inconvenient to only have a two-seater... especially now that I have a kid. I still don't want to have a big ol bench seat taking up more than half the cargo space in the back, so I'm getting more interested in making rear bucket seats. What I'm thinking of are two 16 in wide bucket seats, the bottoms of which fold out to the back of the front seats, allowing the backs of the rear seats to fold nearly flush with the floor, at a slight incline. The middle gap would be around 8 inches, so that should allow storage space, an arm rest, and a cover for the rear seat belt buckles which are bolted in their original places.


Tomorrow morning I'll take a picture and try to superimpose the seat idea. For now, I want to know what you're thoughts are on this. Would you rather have smaller bucket seats that allow for more room as well as seating for four? Or is the bench seat a better option, in your opinion?
