Um this is my computer chair: Incase the seatbelt buckle doesn't give it away, that's a carseat mounted atop the base of a cheap computer chair. All carseat adjustments are intact: two base height adjustments, recline, lumber, and forward/backward. In order to keep the last one, I had to retain the rails, so I made a wooden base that the rails bolt onto, which then is bolted onto the office chair base - the hardest part was removing the mounting brackets from the rails (over an hour of drilling, hammering, sawing and swearing - bear in mind the seatbelt buckle is attached to the seat so it needs to be very well secured to the car). You might wonder what the point of keeping forward/backward adjust is when I can just move the whole seat forward - it's so I can use the recline without topping over (by shifting forward first). The result is pretty loving comfortable, only problem is that the lowest height setting is fairly high (because the distance between the wooden base and the seat surface is a lot more than the thickness of the bit of cardboard and foam that it replaces), doesn't bother me but I'm 6"2.

Only problems are the weight (at a guess it's atleast 25kg - and its almost impossible to raise it without getting off first because you have to give piston some assistance) and the cheap office chair base is very slightly angled to the side (it's probably always been that way, only you don't notice it when the rest of the chair is as awful as the one that base came from. Once I get around to it fix it with a few spacers/washers). Few things to be aware of if you choose to make something like this:
