well it looks like im keeping the acad. now to make it child frendly. thinking mini bus seats in the back with 3 point seat belts fitted to the seats. next problem getting child in to rear seats with front seats in place, poss solution those that know me will remember the first zx i had it was a 3 door and 3 door cars have tilt and slide front seats to get to the rear. so will zx front seats fit the acad? ive got bx seats in it already so zx ones cant be much bigger. any one fitted these and if so how and anyone know of any zx seats around

Tarquin,
a folding passenger seat was an option for Acadianes from 1979 onwards.
Might be worth considering if there's limited space for seats from another vehicle.

Would it be possible to drop rear facing seats in the back? They would be easier to access through the rear doors and child would be a little closer to those up front.

And probably throwing up all the while. I know I would be if I had to face backwards in a car (especially with Tarquin driving!).

I'd be throwing up in the back with the seats in the conventional position, and in the front, too. I don't travel well unless I'm in the driver's seat.

I'm after an Acad mixte folding passenger seat, if you're disposing of one Simon?

Tim Favell has got ZX front seats in his 2cv, so I see no reason why they wouldn't fit in an acad.

Do Acads have the 20cm rise in level between cab floor and van bed floor? That's the issue I had with Hetty - I wanted Mazda coupe seats but to get them (or many other) seats in a van you have to cut the van body around.

Sam - Acads have a longer cab area than 2cv vans though so you can fit other seats in a lot easier.

Correct, I have ZX 5 dr front seats in my D0lly. Doubt they will fit in an AKS400 but should have alot of space in an Acadiane. Think Pug 205/309 seats were tilt and slide too.

Alot of cheap options if you want, just remember they will be low unless you make up frames etc to normal height.
