SIB seating ideas??

I have a honwave t40 and I am after some seating ideas....
I have 3 young children who can’t sit comfortably on the bench seat, the best idea I have found is an inflatable camping chair which I put in front of the bench seat but was hoping for some better ideas 👍

I use water proof dog beds one on the floor one as a back rest on the tube 4 inch thick very comfy

Zodiac used to make an inflatable seat if you can still get one https://shop.chastheboat.co.uk/colle...nt=10589327495

What's wrong with the traditional way of sitting on the tubes, facing inwards, and holding the rope or grab handles provided for the purpose?

Young kids

Kids are aged between 4-7 years old, want them sat more in the boat rather than on the boat for their safety

Not an easy one - been there - kids don't feel safe on tubes or seat as they cannot anchor their feet down properly. Best idea is Jeff's I think - get them low down 'in' the boat on some foam or whatever.

The inflatable boat seat is a good call. With kids as young as 4-7, there's no way you want them on the sponsons, even a little wave could throw them out as they can't anchor their feet yet.

Yep get a seat sorted to sit them inside the boat.

I have something like this.... https://www.compactwatercraft.co.uk/...-for-riverstar (give site a few moments to load its slow for me)

Mine came with one of our used boats. I guess it's about 15yrs old and the material is far thicker and nicer to sit on than cheap li-lo type pvc. It is pretty well full width in an Aerotec but would not be so in a broad Honwave like yours.

It has tabs so you can tie the backrest to the existing seat making a mini sofa.

Mrs F loves the idea of travelling sitting on that but two issues... she would take up too much floor space... and it's pink so I've banned it.
