new law on rear seat belts

[tdafforn]

Hi all,
I agree that the +2 seats are mean't for kids.
I have the spyder conversion, and I trusty the kids in their harnesses more than myself and my wife in our ones!
Just for fun I tried fitting a booster, and it will fit (just). Trouble now is that my 5yo is getting close to touching the headlining!

PS it would all be solved if our seats/restraints had an eu number!

just got a reply from Recaro (very rapid service).
none of their products work with 4 point harnesses (Doh!)
Have given me the address of another firm..
Will contact them and see what they have to say

Hi,
just fitted today the Spyder 4 point rear seat belt kit for our 6 year old & friends- any further progress on what the Dept of Transport dictate?
Thanks

No not really..
basically.
Seat belts in the back - children must be strapped in with certified booster
As far as I can find out no comercially available booster is certified for use with four point harnesses used in the spyder conversion.

While all this conversation is great for venting the spleen, the issue is whether your progeny are safe. Spend the money ensuring that if you get pronged everyone has the best chance of walking away. If it ever goes to court you can argue all you want there. If you're familiar with an adl-adl, being unrestrained in the back of a car during a front ender can have the same effect.
