Rather than a rubber hook, I'm thinking more along the lines of something I
could take with me, so I could use the jumps seats for seating outside the
van (like when I'm tailgating before the baseball/football game). Yes, those
$7 folding "butterfly" style chairs are fine, but hauling those around cuts
down on space for beer. Besides, everybody has those chairs.

I think I'll try to figure out some sort of wood frame that fits together
like those geometric toys we had as kids, and stacks flat when
disassembled...

Since I don't have a garage, if my jump seats don't go with me they sit in
the middle of my living room floor. Hehe. (About not having a garage: Yes, I
spend an ungodly amount of time washing/waxing my van to protect it from the
elements... I could've BUILT a garage with the time/resources/$$ I've spent
on keeping the van "protected"!)

I use a rubber covered bike hook. It's screwed into the wall at the
same height as the jumpseat is when installed in the van. Keeps them
off the dirty garage floor too.
