Do Not Buy A Rear-Facing Third Row For Your Jeep Wrangler For The Love Of God
There are hundreds if not thousands of accessories you can buy for your Jeep Wrangler . Many of them are super ill-advised, but one may stand (or sit) above the rest: a bolt-in third-row seat . That’s right, you can – theoretically – buy an aftermarket third-row bench seat to cram two more people into your Wrangler .
I say theoretically because the company that built these bolt-in rear seats , called “Little Passenger Seats” is now very much out of business . This is probably a good thing. If your first thought after seeing this was, “Wow, that can’t be safe ” you hit the nail on the head. After a little bit of Googling, you’ll quickly find out that back in 2020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration actually posted a “Do Not Use or Purchase” bulletin on its website regarding the seats.
The bench seats are not certified as meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, which specify minimum safety performance requirements for motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment.
