A golf cart rear seat is great to have to carry kids or company around town, hold grocery bags, or to haul gardening supplies.
For those living in a golf cart it's an especially useful accessory. It's great for taking friends out to dinner or for picking up the grandkids.
You can purchase your golf cart as a 4 seat golf cart with the rear seat or you can add it later.
Most rear seats are rear facing and are added later to a two seat golf cart.
These rear seat kits can be purchased on line at places like Amazon. The kits are specific to your golf cart make, model and year.
You will need to know which model golf cart you own. Next decide on a seat color - the three most common options are beige, white or black. Color combinations are also available for a more custom look.
Be sure to pick a seat cover color that matches the color of the front seats.

One of the most versatile golf cart back seat options is the flip seat, which provides a dual purpose of carrying extra passengers or hauling extra stuff.
It's as simple as it sounds, simply flip down the rear seat and voila .... you can use your golf cart for shopping, hauling, and gardening.
You might notice a few upgrades on this Madjax golf cart rear seat kit. Wide armrests with built in drink holders and an extra long golf cart safety grab bar.
Madjax Genesis Golf Cart Rear Seat KitsWhen a rear seat is added the extra weight can cause your rear seat to sag and your tires to rub. To prevent sagging add heavy duty rear leaf springs or dual action leaf springs.
The dual action leaf springs provide a smoother ride while the standard heavy duty leaf springs provide a little stiffer ride. This golf cart part is specific to your golf cart make, model and year.
Many people also add a safety grab bar. It gives your passengers something to hang onto when they get on or off the back seat or hit a bumpy stretch of golf cart paths. And we have them in Peachtree City - tree roots get under the paths and there is some serious bouncing for your back seat riders.
This is a universal golf cart part and works on most fixed and rear flip seats.
Golf Cart Grab BarsThis golf cart accessory is made to fit a variety of rear seats so for some rear seats, modification may or will be required.
What's so cool about the golf cart flip seats is that they can easily convert from extra seating to a handy cargo carrier.

You can contact your local golf cart dealer to order and install one for you. Or you can do it yourself by ordering a flip seat on line.
