I *think* it is technically illegal in most states to have a child in a side jump seat where that child is small enough to legally require a carseat/booster/etc. If they don't require a carseat, I think you are okay.

Would I do it? Nope. I have a 3 yr old that is dying to ride in my '71 fj40. I am putting in a metaltech cage for better protection, and converting the front bench to buckets, then putting the bench portion in the back forward-facing. The carseat will go on that.

I am not doing all that because my kid wants to ride in it - it is a serious trail truck, but I can kill two birds.....
