Hi there. Defender noob in the house, so bear with me. I am considering a Defender 90 as my daily vehicle. I have always loved them, and am now at a position financially where I can afford one. My main concern is I have a 5 year old son, that loves to ride with me. Are these vehicles safe for him? And is there an adequate spot for a car seat? Anyone here take their children out with them in the 90? Thanks very much for any insight!
Are you looking towards a soft top or a hard top?
The vehicle is plenty safe, not sure where you would install s child seat. Lot od area to do it, just plan on using a little extra plating for the support of the seat belt abchors.

Don't wanna sound like a parrot, but as Disco said you have plenty of room for a child seat. I did a mod on a vehicle I had in the passed and all that was required was drilling a few new holes and adding some heavy duty plating as Disco has already stated. Good luck.
