Lap seat belts......

[sae70]

The centre seat in Fiery's passenger seats only has a lap belt fitted & I wondered if anyone was aware if there's a three point seat belt conversion available for this seating position? Maybe newer 90/95's have a three point seat belt in the centre seat position that can be retro fitted into the older trucks ?

Hi Steven,

I've been looking into this exact same issue on my VZJ95. Even the newer 2001 MY "facelift" Colorado's only have a lap belt for the middle seat.

Having 3 kids, my youngest, 5yrs, travels in the middle in a car seat with integral belts. This seat is OK fitted with a lap belt, it's one of those big hefty jobs that is pretty much permanently fixed in place. However, he will out grow that seat soon and will then need just a "booster" type seat. When he gets to that stage, I'm not happy with him just having a lap belt (or even if he moves to another seat, one of his older siblings sitting in the middle with just a lap belt).

If I can't find an alternative solution, I'm seriously thinking about changing cars - I know that sounds a bit drastic but at the end of the day, the LC is our "family" car and if it can't fulfill that purpose to our satisfaction......

One solution is to use one of the 3rd row seats as they have 3 point belts. However that then eats into your boot space.........making it very impractical.

Please let me know if you find anything.

Ditto I'm using a Britax child seat with the lap belt, one of only two makes of child seat that I found designed to work with a lap belt. But when the twins grow out of there child seats into booster seats I will have a far bigger problem on my hands than yourself as Fiery being a shorty hasn't got a third row of seats as an option

NB - My m8's Range Rover has the same problem

When my 'kids' needed child seats (they're in their 30's now ) one could get belts that fitted to a rail that ran across the car behind the rear seat.

If you have the bolted-in load cover fittings behind the seat - could that be used for something similar ???

I haven't searched, but Britax and so on used to make these kind of belts. Maybe they are still about ?

We now have a 7 month old Grandson, so we'll be facing this problem again sometime
