P500 P500 3rd seat?

[wpsfan]

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a SxS for the family. We have a toddler that I'd like to ride up front with us, so not really looking to go the 4 seater route. I've narrowed it down to the P500 and RZR 570. With the RZR you can buy a bump seat for the middle that I've read works great. I've yet to see one of these for the P500, but did see a youtube vid of someone swapping RZR seats and the bump seat in their P500, so I guess that could work..

Is anyone aware of another 3rd seat option for the P500? Due to not finding many options I'm leaning toward the RZR, which I'm very hesitant about because purchasing a Polaris is something I said I'd never do, due to reliability. Any info at all is appreciated!

Very Questionable room for adequate child safety restraint in P500 as it can get bouncy,...IMO. Know you are not interested in a 4 seater, but how long do you plan on keeping the machine as the toddler gets bigger. Not to discourage you, and hopefully someone who has done it can offer better advice. JMO, but would go 4 seater 1000, for the money spent on P500 mods, could have had a bigger machine. But P500 suits my current needs for just wife and I, but would add a 1000 in a heartbeat for safety if grand daughter lived nearby.

Also, what type of trail terrain and riding style would you do? 50 inch restricted trails or not? Good luck and Welcome to the Forum, honest feedback here.

Welcome to the forum! IMO neither are suited to a third person in the front. Drive a 1000, even if the 5K difference is daunting, you’ll find a way to make it happen.

I wouldn't recommend carrying a toddler in the middle of either one of those machines, especially if this is your first sxs. Sounds like the P700-4 would better fit your needs. You'll spend a couple grand more out of the gate but get a machine that's proven bullet proof.

Take your crew to the dealers and the three of you set in each of your choices and see what you think about the space you have .
I take two grand daughters (6&8)in my Pioneer 500 and it's tight .
The three of us don't really fit in my RZR 900 trail (same size as the rzr 570) BUT if you have to be 50" the Pioneer will do . If not do yourself a favor and get a Pioneer 1000 . Fits three SAFELY .
When we do three in the Pioneer the girls both wear the rh seat belt and we go slow around my property .

@iowaguy made a rear seat for his grandkids but I'm not thinking a toddler. Seriously consider a 700 or 1000. AND.....
