You might want to look into a "Y" harness like this: http://www.ezonpro.com/products/familyVehicle/86yHarness.shtml

I installed 3 in the back bench of my mulitivan. About $55 each plus shipping. They mount with one bolt in back on the deck (removable teather clip) and utilize the existing lap belt. I also use a cheap booster. I never had a problem with the lap belts until I read the thread about the kid that appeared to have slipped out of the lap belt in a violent collision on an icy road. My kids had just grown out of car seats and they seemed a little too free and loose with just the lap belts. Good Luck, Chris C 90Multivan
