2 blazer back seats in a blazer

I now have 3 young kids that require a car seat and the blazer back seat will only fit 2 car seats. I'm trying to think of how I can accomidate my wife and 3 kids comfortably. I like the bucket seats up front but thought maybe a truck bench seat would have to due. But I am now thinking that I could move the current back seat forward and put a second back seat behind it. Has anyone done this? Any thoughts welcome.

You can mount a (Suburban, Tahoe etc) 3 belt rear bench a bit forward so you're not restricted in width between the wheel wells. You'll have reduced legroom ..if there is such a thing on 1st gen rear benches.. but still a better option than 2 rows.

..and I'd consider a roll bar for safety, if you dont already have one.

I have seen the two back seats mounted. I think the owner of brothers truck parts has his that way.

I have a suburban back seat, and 3 buckets up front. Seats 6.

If going for a 3rd row, maybe have the back two face each other, backed up against the tailgate and front seats?

Re: 2 blazer back seats in a blazer

Ridni,
Took me a while to find it but take a look at this thread. I took pictures of some different combos in one of my Blazers for another member a few years ago. Hope it helps. There were also several suggestions from others as well.

Richard

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
