3 Seater????

So I'd like your thoughts and ideas on the following...

I've hardly ever had more than 2 other people in the car with me, but since I sometimes have a 3rd person, I don't want to get rid of the back seat, so how hard would it be to remove the rear seats and replace it with a single seat?

I was thinking one just like the front 2, sitting on rails so it could either be on the right, on the left, or in the middle. Ideally it could fold over completely (like the current ones do)

Thoughts,

L

Roadside el-cheapo furniture outlets usually sell dayglow bean-bag chairs (packing peanut filled) One size fits all. I'm sure they would let you try it before buying one. Plus, what do they weigh 4 lbs. max.?

I see, so the passenger in the back could be sprawled out like a maharaja?

I like it...
