I DRIVE A 94 EXT CAB FORD RANGER. I JUST GOT A TICKET FOR NOT PROPER RESTRAINTS FOR MY 3 AND 4 YR OLDS THAT WERE IN THEIR JUMP SEATS (BUCKLED IN) .. I'VE TRIED PUTTING A CARSEAT BACK THERE AND ALL IT DID WAS FLOP AROUND.. IT IS SAFER FOR MY KIDS WITHOUT THE CARSEAT THEN WITH IT. MY WIFES CAR HAS CARSEATS IN THERE BUT WE WORK DIFFERENT HOURS AND CANNOT SWITCH VEHICLES WHEN I NEED TO GO SOMWHERE WHITCH IS RARE BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THEM RIDING WITHOUT PROPER RESTRAINTS.
