Thanks HomerSimpson crazy to think she was 9 month old yesterday and nearly one already!!!

 

Yes front seats only in the Van I'm afraid.... perhaps I'll wait till she's couple years old then as I don't think she would understand at the moment anyway lol. 

 

Either that or go and buy a matching estate with the rear seats.... Now there's a thought! possibly not quite so much of a project though.

Just of off interest also can you run vans without rear bumpers for mot purposes?

Its all about the sharp edges, for the cost of them I would fit them, unless the van is de-seamed etc
