All you family guys- anybody install a LATCH system in you rig?

LATCH is probably an acronym but what I mean is in newer vehicles there's a special clip for installing car seats (baby seats). My twins love riding in the ol' 68 but its a real PITA to get those giant, new style car seats in and out of the narrow back seat. I have been thinking about changing out both seats but am not sure what to go with. Wife prefers a bench seat () which is fine with me. I've seen plenty of takeout seats on craigslist but I don't know how I'd set up the slide mechanism on one.

So, did that paragraph confuse you? Short version of my question is- Anybody know what front and mid seat would easily swap in and the back would have the new style baby seat buckle? thanks- Greg

I have these in my 69 Pickup. They have the loops for the kiddie seats. Very comfy too.

The Chrome Guy sells them ready to bolt into trucks, I don't know about subs though.

Thanks Dune. Love your truck. I'm gonna start looking for those seats, two sets.. Honda should be comfy and semi durable so those'll probably work good for me.

I believe any seat 03 and up should have the loops. It is a real pita mounting my son's car seat to the buddy buckets in my truck

Here's a pic of my rascals playing in the big 'burban. That's my oldest at the drivers door (by 1 minute) and his little bro in the back.

Yeah, it was a government mandate that all vehicles had to have them by '03. That will help narrow your search (03+). Find some you like and get to fabbin' your brackets!
