The Car Seat gives a vehicle a place to sit and a small space to store items. A seat spot with no seat cannot be entered or used for storage.
The seat comes in Standard, Heavy-Duty and Sports versions. Each version fits only vehicles of its own type. A Heavy-Duty seat cannot be fitted into a sports car.
Seats matter for both passengers and cargo. The driver's seat is the one a vehicle cannot do without. The other seats add room for friends or for extra loot. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Car Seat
Each seat holds a small amount of cargo. Back seats are handy as extra storage on a loot run.
A seat can be overloaded with a single object. One heavy item such as a generator or a large backpack can sit on a seat even when it weighs more than the seat would normally hold.
Items on a seat block anyone from sitting there. Even a light item stops a survivor from leaving through that door. For this reason the front passenger seat is best kept empty, so there is always a second way out.
A vehicle still drives with seats removed, as long as the driver's seat stays in. Pulling seats makes the vehicle a little lighter, though the gain is small. A missing seat also removes the option to enter or leave through that door, which can be dangerous in a horde.
Most seats found on vehicles spawn damaged. A seat in poor condition can be repaired once it is off the vehicle. Duct Tape or Glue both work at Mechanics level 1.
How to Install Car Seat
Fitting or removing a seat needs a Screwdriver. The job calls for Mechanics level 1 and knowledge of Basic Mechanics.
Higher Mechanics lowers the chance of damage and raises the chance of success. Some vehicles need a little more skill for a clean job. The Chevalier Dart, the Masterson Horizon and certain Chevalier Nyala versions call for level 2.
The seat must match the vehicle type. A Standard seat goes only into a Standard vehicle, and the same rule holds for Heavy-Duty and Sports seats.
The tools, Mechanics level and knowledge the game asks for to fit the Car Seat and to take it out again.

Locations
Seats come from vehicles. Parked cars, wrecks and burnt shells can all give up their seats. A wreck with good seats is worth stripping before the seats are needed.
Notes
- Keep the front passenger seat empty so there is always a second exit.
- A single heavy item can sit on a seat beyond its normal load.
- A vehicle drives without seats as long as the driver's seat stays in.
- Duct Tape or Glue repairs a removed seat.
