When my daughter was born she was in the rear facing seat in my wife's '98 A4 which did not come with tether points. The seat just had the seatbelt going around the base. When it was time for the forward facing seats (which comes real fast) I installed both rear GoWesty seat belt kits. The drivers side even comes with a nice trim kit for the rear cabinets and tells you where to cut. The only problem is it pretty much renders the upper part of that cabinet useless.

My wife had purchased a tether kit from gowesty but i'm not sure it provides everything i need. This is the part I have: http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=4246&search_phrase=child%20sea t&start= My 85 Westfalia only has lap belts, not 3 point belts although i would like to add those at some point. Our baby seat faces backwards (I think it gets used for another 6 months or so until the kid is big enough for the forward facing seat). Has anybody made their westfalia baby seat friendly or am i out of luck? Thanks Jeff in Winnipeg |
