Greetings fellow list members:
        The State of Indiana passed a law requiring children under the age of
8 and under a certain height and weight to use child booster seats
while traveling in a motor vehicle. Aside from this legislation
assuming that I don't know how to care for my children, it also doesn't
take into account that my '86 GL has no shoulder belts in the back
seats with which to secure a child in a booster seat. Every child
booster seat I have seen requires a shoulder belt. The front seats
(with shoulder belts) are already spoken for. I imagine that newer
vehicles have shoulder belts for the back seat guests, and even
convertibles have shoulder belts, so there has got to be a way I can
put them in at least one position in the back of my Vanagon, preferably
the seat behind the drivers seat. Any experience or suggestions? Thanks
for reading this. Have fun, Neal
