Is there a rock and roll bed with headrests, isofix?

Post by rollercoaster »

Cant see a recommendation anywhere,
is there a good make?
I need a 3/4 one,
mine is a rather cumbersome folding plywood job,
and not only is it awkward,
it slides forward when the brakes go on..
Thanks
PS isofix is not entirely necessary,
but we do have a couple of toddlers.

We have an isofix bracket, took the idea from bene. If you can get a small gap between the seat upright and base, through to the engine bulkhead, you can attach a bracket from a f0rd focus which you can get on eBay. A picture might help though!

I was planning of fitting a rusty lee bed https://www.vwrustylee.com/vw-beds/ even though it says on the website the bed lays flat with the engine lid it doesn't you need extra thick foam or a platform over the engine lid with an isofix but the isofix and bed don't line up and the ford focus bracket doesn't work with this bed.

I am now planning on fitting two 3 point belts in the back. one using the brickwerk kit which works really well and is easy to fit and the other as explained here: http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=164277

I saw that thread yes thanks,
how would one fit headrests,
or get rusty's to fit them?

Another wish might be that it folds forwards flat for loads,
without having to fold it flat as a bed and put cargo onto the mattress.

Thanks

Rusty Lee has suggested that headrests be made in the upholstery not the frame,
he sent me a picture so I know what he means.
Seems ok to me.

But I am wondering what available makes and models of R&R beds there are?
I dont read magazines so dont know if they have reviewed them at all,

what makes have people bought and how have they got on with them,
has there been a thread about this before that I can't find?

Do you have the headrest picture they sent you please? I want to put them on mine soon.

I have a Volkswares full width bed fitted. It’s pretty good to be fair. Ended up welding the legs in place. I have 3 lots of 3 point belts fitted. Thought about the Isofix but sacked it off, will need the belts eventually anyway.

I just bought one of these with optional headrests. Very solid.
