super duper sub box holder?

 

ehm.. yeah... still dont get it.. lol

custom seats? or something more ... "cooler"

 

closest guess yet!

 

map holder and wine rack

 

some sort of bed? or bench seating?

 

ooo I know, your going to mount a refrigerator there.. and fill it with cheese! Mounds and mounds of cheese!

 

with matching sink and microwave

 

rear bench seat

 

Its a car seat holder for my daughter. She should be here in early september and the Mrs. isnt too wild about riding in the back while the baby is up front. This "baby cage" holds the sear very snugly and has two tie down points to be used with the strap that comes with the seat. There was a thread a while ago that Gumby made just like this but all his pics didnt work since it was so old.

looks good man. ive never seen one of those before but i give you props for makin it!

 

DAMN!

i was hoping it was gonna be a holder for a cooler.. woulda been a much better use of the metal

 

Dammit! I need one of those!! I don't even have jump seats, so it would work great! haha

 

Neat idea... as long as its safe of course.

 

Its very sturdy and to get it in and out you have to lift the front end up then pull it all out. basically, it wont come out if you just pull the whole thing straight up. I would bet my life that a car seat strapped in this "holder thing" is way more secure and safe than just belting the seat to a bench seat.

 

you can make another one on the other side to hold the cooler and microwave :)

 

I liked the bed / bench seat idea... that would be nice for me since I commute to school and have 2-3 hour breaks sometimes...

 

it loks kinda like the rear frame off a mini trophy truck...just puttin that out there.....but how is it mounted to the truck?

 

looks like he has a plate that bolts/welds to the floorpan

 

lol..thats awesome...I know some guys who trade they're truck in when they had a kid and get a family sedan or something, screw that just get one of these...

 

Ehh I dunno bout this... I wouldn't trust it with my babies life, but that's just me... Don't take your truck to pick them up, because if the hospital has to do a car seat check before you leave, they will most likely to tell you "NOPE" as that's not an approved carseat holder.... Nice idea, and execution, just wouldn't trust my kid in it!

 

When we left the hospital, they didn't really even check anything. I know they saw the carseat, but the didn't mess with it. They just let us load up and go home lol.

 

Dude, are you saying that it just sits in there and isn't strapped down? That is horrible, it needs to be strapped in atleast. Any impact (say a small car t-bones you) is going to have upward and sideways momentum and easily throw that thing out of it's carrier. Not to mention the legality of the whole thing. You get in a wreck, something happens, child services will be all over your *** for not having it properly secured.
Just my thoughts...
