I noticed on some of the pics that a few builders have hinged the seat backs above the first bend from the base.
How do you then prevent the back from folding back. Especially if the seat is in the forward position on the front attachment.

Mine are that way. I don't have adjustable seats as I am 6 feet tall. If needed, you put in thicker cushions.
