I have 2 small kids and was wondering if anybody has installed a 3rd seat belt. I have a cushion over the center armrest and my 6 year old (who doesn't need a car seat) fits on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Being able to pick up both my kids if needed is another reason to drive the car as much as I can.

I always thought the 'third seat' was a joke. I can't imagine anyone actually sitting there. It would be tough enough for the driver to perform shifts, let alone the person in the 'third seat' having to have their head above the windshield, or to try and fit under the targa top if it was on.
Not to mention the damage to the person sitting there if one were to get in an accident. |
