[Wanted] Front middle seat

Thinking of a front middle seat for my def 90. Might sound stupid but will these fit a puma? Doesn’t need to be anything fancy and don’t really need belts if you haven’t got hem! It’s just for my dog to sit up front with us. As she keeps lying on the cubby box!!

Just an old tatty cheap thing is what I’m after. If it will fit? Thanks Jim.

I've got one I could part with. Don't know the legalities of fitting one in a puma though. Ray

You might be better off making a sort of upholstered dog tray to avoid the hassles of a non-type-approved seat, (which would have to have a belt for legal reasons). Isn't there also now a legal requirement for dogs to be restrained if they are in the passenger compartment, or did I just imagine yhat?

I’m sure your right about the restraining, suppose if I got a middle seat I could always get one of them belt harness things! Thanks Jim.

A middle seat will fit in a Puma but the low ratio knob presses into the front of the seat base cushion. OK for a dog but not great for a human! 110 First Edition, NAS, 50th, SV, 90 CSW 300 Tdi

I'd like to know too - something specific or just a general catch all provision that can be applied?

It seems that "Rule 57" of the Highway Code is the relevant thing:

The Hoghway Code wrote:
Rule 57
When in a vehicle make sure dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly. A seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog cage or dog guard are ways of restraining animals in cars.

Failure to comply is being cited as grounds for invalidating your insurance and being fined up to £5k depending upon circumstances.
