Rear Seat Belts

With the GP being loaded up tomarrow (#0650) wanted to know if there are any of the factory seat belt mounts in the rear? My racing harness used to clip into my 04'MCS. I see that there is a cap on the rear roof towers. Not sure about the floor? Thank you in advance for any insight.

Very young speed demons

Is there any chance of mounting a rear seat in this rocket? My 4 and 5 year olds love the RUSH too! Thank you in advance for all your help.

Yes, could be done. You would lose that wonderful bar and those big
red things.

It is Lapis blue. Dark Grey panels. Not too sure how the color would look. You could change your mirror caps to blue.

Why would you buy a GP if your going to put a back seat in it? Why not buy a MCS JCW?

Because the GP represents a much better Value for the small $ difference in my opinion. When 4 people are having the time of there life...it is 4 times as fun!
