Looking to buy a Caddy and get rear seats fitted so I can use it for work and personal/family bits.
Having skimmed the info out there on seat conversions, can I so if any of you have them, put baby seats in them?
Using existing seat fittings and seatbelt mounts, surely it's all ok, but 1st time dad, so just making sure

Re: Rear Seat Conversion
We fitted our own rear seat conversion into the Caddy & strapped my son in...
We used S/Steel 12.9 bolts & fitted spreader plates
Sent all the info including pictures to the insurance company & DVLA with no issues

Excellent.
Looks like thy will be done.
£1000 seems a bit steep though!

Re: Rear Seat Conversion
If its done correctly what price do you put on safety???
A few members have done this conversion DIY but if you want DVLA & Insurance approved fitment its best to get the correct certificate
Give Colin a call at http://www.oxfordt5.co.uk/ he fits seats to VW T5's but he does provide a certificate & may be able to help you
