wkw90 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I would go for the center box , the center seat is not somewhere i would want to sit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Monkey Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Currently have a center seat which seems to be next to useless for someone to sit on and doesn't do a great job of being somewhere to put things, so can't wait till i've changed it for a cubby box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Warman Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've recently taken out my cubby box and managed to find a centre seat in pretty good condition and fitted it as I needed one so my Wife didn't have to be sat in the back when we took our new son out. The cubby box was very useful and was very good as an arm rest and somewhere to store all my bits but having the centre seat does make it a bit easier when climbing all over the inside as I usually end up doing for some reason. out of the 2 I would recommend a cubby box if you have no need for a seat there but it's still quite comfortable with 2 adults and a baby car seat in the front.

western Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Don't know the Rhino version, but the Mobile Storage one seems popular http://www.mobilestoragesystems.fsnet.co.uk/store-caddy.htm mine came from craddocks as I wanted a flat front & tray, I'm not keen on the sloppie front ones.

rekab69 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Ralph, they look good, I've emailed them for a price list... Theres' a couple of "Rhino Products" ones on ebay, I liked the look of the padded tops but your ones are even chuckier... cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Cubby box, centre seat is no good if your passenger has breasts unless you\they like elbow bruises on them from every gear change! It can be cosy depending on the passenger though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebdesignDEFENDER Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 On my 110 I have a cubby box, and as I have only 2 seats(it is an 110 CSW hard top) I am thinking to take it off as I need a seat, but I have an project to build an seat wich can be used also like an arm rest and also like a cubby box(but not to big like the old one).It should look like in a Fiat Multipla. --here is Like here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I retained my centre seat for 2 years and it proved useful for placing maps and the odd packet of sweeties. I don't have a lot of gubbins in my 110, but now I need a CB for an upcoming trip I bought an MSS Store Caddy to put it in. Very pleased I did it, too.

rekab69 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sorry, had to slip off to bed last night, had a great dream about elbows and large breasted.....and...!! Thanks for your advice cubby box from MSS is for certain..... Looking at them though I feel a few late nights in the workshop with a needle and thread and an angle grinder I could soon knock one up Blue Peter style....!! Ok, you're right, best to just buy one..... cheers db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnover4x4 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 If your keeping the centre seat for the use of a child think twice. I removed mine for fear of the little ones doing themselves damage on the gear levers in the event of a sudden need for stopping. Most centre seats only have lap belts which doesnt give the kids any bracing in the uppermost. If you do decide to keep the centre seat & kids will be sitting there, paddocks do a reasonably price 3 point harness to reduce the possibility.

Mo Murphy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Go for a cubby box, far more useful than a centre seat Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlykepower Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Centre seat......used once a year, maybe twice. Cubby box.....used every single time you get in the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it attach onto for the upper fixing point? Unlike everyone else I use my centre seat almost everytime the 90 is used but it's for the Wife, but I still think she might be happier with a 3 point belt Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnover4x4 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi Steve, theres no image of the 3 point harness but Ive inserted a link to Paddocks with all the variations that they do. If you have a look on the securon site below, all the images are available. Not sure whether a harness would be any good for an adult in the centre seat, as Im unsure of the height of the centre seat & the harness would need to ideally rest on the seat top as it comes over your shoulders(if that makes sense). You would need to look at your vehicle for a suitable & substantial mounting point for the rear fixing. Paddocks choice of harnesses Securon harnesses hope this helps Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Cocks Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Try this link steve Harnesses Was nothing that ade did wrong but when you try to give a link to the search results resets the search page to show all the products that Paddocks sell.

upnover4x4 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks Tris, how odd ie worked when I 1st tried it. Steve I bought the 3 point harness from paddocks & for £30 quid you cant go wrong Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest noggy Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I just bought a second hand cubby off Mo Murphy, as i always feel that its dangerous if someone sits in the way of my gearstick, now there will be only room for me and a passenger my girlfriend has did have a lot of bruises from elbowing her in the boobs!
