Rear seat options

Post by MGoins »

Ok, has anyone put the Tahoe/escalade 3rd row seat in the back of a cherokee?
I'm looking for shoulder belts and a way to hook up a carseat any pics or links would be great

What year? At some point they started putting the shoulder belt anchor above the quarter window.

Mounting a seat with built in belts isn't smart unless you're qualified to design the mounts for the crash stresses.

Don't make your kid a crash test dummy.

Just for grins, I set a stock rear seat behind the existing rear seat. You have VERY little leg room back there. I wouldn't recommend it, simply based on what happens if your vehicle gets rear-ended. The 3rd seat occupants become the crumple zone.

I definitely wouldn't put a child carseat back there. There are no good tiedowns back there.

I have it on good authority that you have a Wagoneer with three rows of seats. :-? :mrgreen:

I misunderstood. I didn't get that he was adding a third row.

My other comments still apply.

No worries, but no not a 3rd row removing the factory seat and retrofitting a 3rd row seat out of a tahoe/escalade as the back seat

Nah that isn't what I had in mind. I seen an escalade 3rd row seat in a k5 looked like what I need.
