Double passenger seats

Hello sorry, me again. Still looking for my first van. Trouble is, I need 5 seat belts. I was only looking at vans with a full width bed but then I wondered if it might be easier to have 3 seats in the front. Does anyone know if the front seats in a t4 fit easily? I found some on gumtree advertised as both. Or does anyone know where I can get some. Or am I missing an obvious solution?
sorry for all the questions
cheers
Lucy

I have original twin passenger seat in the front of mine. It has the half height bulk head. The middle seat is tiny and the person has to sit at about 45 degrees so their legs dont get in the way of the gear stick. I'm planning on taking both bulkhead and seat out. also having to get out and walk around to get into the back is a pain.

Or buy a multivan/whitestar/redstar/bluestar/LLE/ caravelle with full width Rockn Roll bed. Four 3 point seatbelts and one lap belt. Job done.

Thank you, I am struggling to find the full width ones! I will keep looking.

With regards to removing the half bulkhead, is that hard to do? and couldn't I do that and keep the double passenger seat?

The standard bench passenger seat attaches to the top part of the bulkhead. However im sure you could have a piece of box section welded to each side so the seat still had somewhere to attach to. Tho im not sure what you would gain from this.
Personally i would go for two seats up front and a full width RnR. Or i have seen 3/4 width RnR With two belts and a "jump" seat behind the passengers seat to give the 5 total seats.
