Adding a seat to a golf cart

[Igolf]

Has anyone added a fold up seat to make a two person cart a four seater? If so, was it a good idea and who did the installation? Thanks for your input.

Check out this thread from last year. One thing I might add is that unless you are going to use the conversion on a regular basis you are better off just renting a cart when company comes. Also, because you have to put heavier duty shocks in the rear for support the cart will ride very rough with just 2 people in it. Finally, if you are avid golfers, you may not like it as the golf bags ride higher and it is a pain to get the clubs out of the bag.

I absolutely agree the heavy duty suspension is necessary, and yes it can make the ride rough for one or 2 people we have one of these. As for the golf club mounting, ours at at the exact same height as a standard golf cart, so this might depend on the style of the additional seat.

Finally, there are kits for DIY installations, but I would expect most of the mobile golf cart service companies could do this. Be sure to get the heavy duty suspension, or you will be sorry when you try to transport 4 people.
