thinking about buying a van in the near future but would like to know if there was a way i could legally fit the back of the van with atleast one seat? id only be thinking about fitting a fold away seat so the back can still be used...

 

anyone have any ideas?

You'd definately have to tell the insurers (even though the premium may not change) and the DVLA too. And I imagine the seats and seatbelts would be scrutinised during an MOT so make sure you fit them to the same standard that they are in hatchbacks (big Torx bolts through a chunky piece of metal with a fair thread in it)

I too am looking at getting a van (for ma dogs) and was thinking of gettting a 3rd seat installed. Personally i can't see it being a problem as there are vehciles on the road that have side facing seats and are road legal.

 

The only problem i can see is that you would need to find original mounting points to fix the seat belt too otherwise they would not be securely fixed.
