Yes they are good, have also seen conversion done using an estate rear seat as I believe the floorpan is the same.

Yep, floor pans are the same. IIRC the estate seats allow more legroom, and less load room.

Would i be able to fit child seats on it? or is it just like a bench?

More like a bench, proper rear seat would be better / safer.

I was going to sell the Audi and use the van as a daily.
So not really safe with kids then?

All down to seat belt mountings really, but the proper rear set from an estate is the better option.

Can you get proper rear seats fitted in the van or has it got to be a bench?

I think the floorpan is the same so you should be able to an estate rear bench.

You'll need to change the details on the V5 or you'll get in hot water. My uncle fell foul of this when he fitted rear seats in his escort van years ago.
