seatbelts

Post by kiddiekool » Sat Oct 24, 2009 1:01 am

Hi folks!! First time here and new to all this...anyhow my problem is that I have reversed my middle bench seats, to allow easier access to back row, but now I have obviously found out I can't use my seatbelts!!which I really need, as I use my bongo as my kiddie nursery bus...can I get other fixings or do I need to turn them back around??? :?also can I convert my middle seat lapbelts to 3 point/diagonal seatbelts? any help would be greatly aprreciated

Hi as they are rear facing there is not as much neeed for 3 point belts so lapbelts will do

there is no need for belts in rear facing seats in law but as you are using it to transporting kids best get lap belts and attach them to the anchor points this is what I did when I reversed my middle seat

good point about the lap belts ,however kids are too valuble for lap belts.no way by child will ever have just a lap belt

I have fitted ex bus lap belts to the two outside seats on my reversed seats. Passed the MOT so legal
