I'm trying to turn my LWB caravelle from a 6-seater with swivel captain seats into a 9 seater with two triples on the 3rd and 2nd row and a double passenger seat at the front. I'm having difficulty working out if this is possible on the 2nd row. Has anyone got any advice please? I'm starting to think a 2nd row triple seat doesn't exist as can't seem to find them anywhere...
 
Technically it will work however how will the third row passengers safely exit the vehicle as they would have to clamber over the triple or for the triple to be laid flat (and still would have to climb over)? Now I know on a shuttle the side singles tilt forward and therefore that may be possible.

It is the same triple sliding seat for BOTH rows.

Thanks archersam. I forgot to mention the main problem!.. that is we would like the 2nd row to be rear-facing - this would solve the getting in and out issue, but I'm not sure that a rear-facing triple exists??
 
Well I guess technically a normal triple should go in backwards although that might be stopped by way feet slot into the tracks and the shape of the feet. Whether that is safe or not I have no idea however the seat has three built in belts and why would that be different than the single swivel seats with the built in belt.
 
yeah this is my problem, it's the feet that wouldn't allow it to happen. I think I might have to buy a double and a single, but I'm not sure that would fit on the rails either?
 
they dont make a double for the Caravelle rails only a triple and a single.
