Would like to add jump seat to 2nd row captains chairs

[Avalanchediver]

I would like to add a center jump seat to 2nd row captains chairs in a 2015 Denali XL. Anybody try this? Are there any aftermarket options available? Anyone try fitting a front row consol/jump seat in the 2nd row?

Thanks for any thoughts... Eric

Seems like most people swap captains for bench with someone.

I know that seems like the best solution, but I prefer the captains chairs. Just need a 3rd seat in the 2nd row on occasion. Seems like a sellable accessory. Just hoping someone makes something that woulds work...

IMO, Captains chairs are less comfortable, less roomy and give you fewer seating options. They do look better and give easier access to the third row though.

You’re essentially eliminating that benefit with a jump seat.

With all of that said, maybe something like this would work? http://shop4seats.com/truck-seats/jump-seats-and-consoles.html

Thank you, that is just what I had in mind. Hope I can figure a way to make it removable and just use it when needed.

I think it would be a tough sell as an aftermarket accessory for purely liability reasons.

I would agree. If it's not securely bolted into the floor with some sort of support, It would be a liability in an accident.

There is always a way...

Not sure I'll find the way, but there's always a way to do it...

You’re better off buying a bench and just ‘swapping’ that in when you need it.

At least it’s been crash tested etc.

I bought automotive seat foam and cut it up to fit in the empty space. It’s not secure at all but I am just using it for the dog on long trips. He ( the dog) hates the capitan chairs. Was used to a 04 hoe with a bench which was my previous whip

I did. Used a silverado front jump seat and it fit nicely...

That does seem to fit nicely. Did you secure it using seat bolts and did it come with a seatbelt?

That's the usual way to do it. They should also come with an attached seat belt.

The seat mounts have holes that made it very easy to attach some seat mounting brackets. The seat did have an attached belt, and I added some rapid chargers for kids phones/tablets. I had to remove armrests, and ended up doing a 3d printed bolt cover. Its really sweet...

Hey Texas Daddy! I know this post is pretty old, but I’m hoping you’re still active on here.

I was inspired by your post and expert installation, so I bought a jump seat that I’m attempting install now in my 2017 Escalade. On the jump seat, there’s a plastic “skirt” that goes all the way around the bottom. It prevents the seat from sitting evenly on the floor. Did yours have that, and if so did you modify this in any way or remove it?

Thanks!

Hello - I have a 2020 Tahoe Premier RST with 2nd row buckets and want to do this. What 'year' center console did you pick up from a Silverado? 07-14? Different year?
Did you have to modify the console, once you received it (other than the mounting plates?) Thanks for the insight

Hi.. what Silverado year(s) have interchangeable jump seats to use in a 2013 Escalade Luxury 2nd row?
