 Are little passenger third row seating safe? |
|
 Yes. Our first seat was designed for my grandchildren, so safety was my number one concern. Once we decided to market SUV 3rd seats we knew safety would be everyone's primary concern; that is why they would consider buying a seat instead of just having their children sitting on the floor of the cargo area.
After some research we learned, to our surprise, that there are no requirements that we do any safety testing in order to market our seats. Although we know how strong our seats and mounting systems are —whether you buy a cloth or a leather SUV seat— we proceeded to do safety testing to ensure that they meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. An independent evaluation was completed by the California State Automobile Association (AAA of Northern California) after we requested advertising space in their monthly magazine. At the time of this writing we have sold in excess of 14,000 seats and have not heard of a single incident in which one of our seats has failed. We have had several customers call to thank us for the safety of our seats after they had been involved in accidents in which the seat had kept their children safe. |

|
| How long does it take to receive the seat once an order is placed? |
|
| On most orders, we ship our made to order seats in four to six weeks depending on the model from the date of order. Transit times range from one to six business days in the 48 contiguous states. |
|
|
|
| Can I use a child car seat on the little passenger seat? |
|
Child seats will not work with the single folding seat. |
|
|
|
| Will the little passenger seat match my interior? |
|
| That depends on the year, make and upholstery of your SUV. If you have a leather interior we will be able to match it in most cases in either leather or vinyl. If you have a cloth interior the answer is “maybe”. We can usually get the original trim fabric or one that is very close so you may not be able to tell it is not original. The insert pieces, the piece you sit on that has a pattern, are getting harder and harder to get. We have some fabrics that go back 10 years or more and others that are only a few years old and not longer available. As the automobile industry gets more and more competitive the manufactures have tightened they supplies and we not longer see the fabric surpluses that were very common only five years ago. |
|
|
|
| Is there a weight limit for the occupant of the seat? |
|
| No. The limit is on size of the passenger. The Federal Safety Standards we tested for were for regular car seats, not child seats. Some vehicles are large enough to fit adults to about 5'9", while others are limited to children from 6-10 years old.. |
|
|
|
| Do I need a mechanic to install a little passenger seat? |
|
| Probably not. All of our seats are designed for owners to install themselves with an electric drill and hand tools in two to three hours. They come with complete step-by-step instructions and most include diagrams. We also have photo instructions for our Explorer seats from an article in a sport utility magazine. You do not have to remove gas tanks for the
installation of any of our seats.
If you are not very mechanical, you may have a friend or relative who can help you with the installation. Before you pay someone to install a seat we suggest you go through the instructions, not only to determine whether you might be able to do the job yourself, but also to familiarize yourself with the installation so you will know if it was installed correctly. You should not have to pay more than two or three hours labor to have someone install a seat, depending on the specific SUV model. |

|
| Do the optional shoulder belts require any additional mounting? |
|
| No. The shoulder belt retractors mount on the rear of the seat frame and are installed by simply moving them from their shipping position (under the seat) and bolting them onto the designated location on the seat frame. The belt comes over the top of the seat so they fit little passengers correctly. |
|
|
|
| Are
Little Passenger Seats removable? |
|
| Yes.
Seats in all models can be removed by
simply unscrewing four to six bolts, about a five minute job. To
reinstall simply place the seat back in and reinstall the four
bolts. On some models the seat can be installed front or
rear facing and changed from one position to the other. |
|
|
|
| Is it true that you will buy back the little passenger seat? |
|
If you have a model that is not in demand we will work with you to find a buyer and provide that buyer with installation instructions. We do not buy back our folding seats. |
|
|
|
| Is there any guarantee on the little passenger seat? |
|
| Yes. Our seats are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. The steel seat frame and mounting system is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle and the seat foam is guaranteed by the manufacturer for 15 years.
If you are not completely satisfied with your seat you may return it uninstalled within 30 days for your money back (less shipping charges). After 30 days there is also a 20% restocking fee for uninstalled seats. Once the seat has been installed it will be considered as a used seat and returns will be on a case-by-case basis.
|
|
|
|
| Can I buy a used seat? |
|
| Yes. The seats we buy back are resold as used with new mounting systems. Used seats are discounted from $100 to $300 depending on the condition, model, upholstery, color, options, etc. Used seats sell quickly so finding one to match your model and interior may be difficult.
Even when we are unable to meet the demand for our used seats, we can offer a less expensive model of our standard seat. This seat is available in grey, tan, blue and red non-factory cloth or vinyl, has a standard stitch pattern and includes two lap belts. Prices start from $590 depending on the model. Please call if you are interested in this option. |
