- You need to cut a piece that is two inches thick foam which is the same size as the board utilizing a razor blade.
- Then spray the whole top part of the plywood using spray glue and add the foam to the wood. After doing it wait for the glue to be hardened perfectly for one or two minutes.
- Then, cut a thick piece of vinyl for the seat cover that intersects the plywood edges by 3 inches. The vinyl should be laid on the ground with the underpart facing up. After that, you lay the plywood in the middle of the vinyl that is covered in foam and the foam should be against the vinyl. Fold one vinyl side up then use a big size stapler to attach it to the plywood.
- Drag the opposite part of the vinyl tight and staple it in place. Do the same process for the other two sides. Make the rear seat out of the plywood and foam doing the similar process as in steps one and four. The backrest needs to be the size that fits best your child’s height or it can be the same as the front seat if you use a comfortable seat belt that holds the baby perfectly.
- Calculate from the rear roof maintaining stick or rod straight to the bumper. Cut a couple of metal pipes to the measured length using a grinder with a cutting disc that is at the right angle.
- Trace the pipes in the area they have to be bent or curved at a Ninty Degree angle to go straight to the bumper. The propane torch should be lighted and you need to hold it on the trace or mark until the metal is blazing hot to be bent. Now bend the pipes and wait for them to be cool. Clutch the first pipe the second one at the time when you are curving the pipe to ensure they are at the duplicate angle.
