If that's the onion box cab space will be tight in it for any solution.

I know a man that ratchet strapped a baby seat into the cab of a nh tm120 and brought a 1 year old baling for four hours while mammy was working so anything is possible.

Lad near me does it during silage and combine season. The passenger seat on the harvestors are big enough to fit a child seat and he got 3 point safety belts put on them. When he is doing silage or corn he brings the young fella with him and either his wife picks him up when she comes back from work, or his mum comes for him if she is available. saves having to pay a child minder. i asked him about the noise and as the cab is well insluated its not an issue, the young fella usaully falls asleep and he has a set of ear defenders for him too.

Have a 4 yr old myself who loves to be out on the farm, particularly in the tractor. To my mind they are safer up in the tractor than down on the ground.
When we changed the tractor earlier this year, a reasonably large safe cab with a passenger seat was a requirement for the new tractor.

The MF 3 series cab are tight for a child seat, the only option i could find when i was looking at the time was the seat from donedeal already posted earlier. I think some gent in Mayo makes them, they fold away in beside the PTO lever when not in use.

Edit Here's an ad from donedeal I saved a couple of years ago. I think this is the guy that makes them. might be worth a shot.
