Good news for us driving young kids around in our Chevelle's I found a 5 - point harness car seat called Husky made by Britax that is forward facing for kids 22 lbs to 80 lbs and to a max height of 53". I called Britax's customer service and they verified that this seat only uses a lap belt for the full duration of its use up to 80 lbs or 53". If used in a shoulder / lap belt application - the shoulder belt and lap belt are held together with a clip and passed through the seat as a lap belt. These seats are relatively new to the market and in checking with my local Zany Brainy and Babies R Us they have not received any yet. However; they can be ordered online as well.

They mounted through the rear deck (behind the seat). And we used a child booster car seat in my truck belted in the center seat. It was legal where I live to use that. Here is one that may work. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005LJE7/pictures/14/14/002- 8390481-5495218?v=glance&s=baby&vi=pictures#more-pictures Brian Zack '70 Chevelle Malibu mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Krister Meister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 10:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Child car seats Wondering how those with small kids have addressed this issue. I have a '66 SS with rear seat lap belts (factory) and I have 4.5 year old twins, about 33 - 35 lbs, that are growing out of their 5 point harness car seats which use only the vehicles lap belt. The seat type they need to move up into all use a shoulder / lap belt design. Has anyone found a lap belt design child's (40lb - 100lb) car seat or retrofitted a '66 to rear seat with shoulder / lap belts? My kids will be bummed if they can't cruise around and I just don't trust a lap belt if there is something better available for their safety.
