>But how do you secure the seat with the lap belt? Its impossible... at least in my '87 >Wolfsburg. There is no way to get the seat to be firmly secured against the seat back. >Without that, the toddler seat is useless as a safety >device. I thought I'd share my toddler set-up: My Westy has the 'weekender interior'. This gives me an extra seat behind the driver's seat. This seat comes with a manual lap belt which enables me to firmly cinch down the toddler seat for my 4-year-old son. I then use the 5-point harness that came with the seat to strap him in. I found this to be the only acceptable way, in my view, to secure him. The three-point automatic belts are too slack to provide any meaningful restraint. Chris, '85 Westy. |
