Replace front passenger seat to increase travel belts?

Hi, we're looking into getting a campervan, budget around 7/8k. A problem I think we're facing is at that money it is mostly older campers in budget that only have 2 belted seats, as any rear seats are not belts or just lap belts. As we have 1 year old we're keen to fit a child seat securely.

One option I thought of was to remove front passenger seat and replace with a double and two belts. I understand we'll lose the walk through facility and need to find a van that has the space for it.

Is there anything I am missing that makes this idea more difficult than it first seems?

Only that Dolmen intermittantly insists on being able to walk from the front to the back but stuarts or one of the others should cover you. If you put a swivel on the drivers side you can still clamber through when its raining or you're parked in.

You could always get a double swivel and pick up a standard double sat depending on van> http://www.kiravans.co.uk/scopema-rib-campervan-seats/vw-t5-swivels

I fitted a Previa double swivel to the front of a transit before; would only give you one 3-point belt though
