Re: Third row seat with custom lock box base and MPAC gear rack

It does meet federal safety specifications according to the manufacturer and I stuck with the method they provided for anchoring it to the floor. Believe me it's rock solid. You'd have to rip through the whole cargo area floor for this thing to budge. They use long mounting bars underneath with welded nuts that make for a solid fit.

I agree that safety is critical and that's why I went with all steel for the box so that I wouldn't have any weak point between the seat and the floor mount.
That looks like a quality product and a super-clean install. Still, I hate being such a downer but... expect to get sued senseless if any third party (like your kid's friends) gets injured in a accident while seated back there . The seat itself may meet fed regs, but that says nothing about mounting it in the storage position of the FJC. Regardless of how safe it appears back there, the FJC was not designed to carry extra passengers back there and you will be liable. I am no lawyer but this appears obvious to me. I can picture a greedy, POS lawyer rubbing his hands together...
