In our Westy 85, we have installed a strap like the one found in an
passenger Eurovan for the rear seats. At one end of the strap there is
a D ring, and the other side is fixed to the bolted seatbelts fixation.
This D ring is in the center of the seat, so it can accomodate two seat
if you want.  The real problem is with the bosster seat for children of
4 years old, these seat are high and the back seat of a Westy is low,
so there is a risk for the neck, if you use a seat with headrest, there
is no shoulder belt...
