Feel free to take the piss...

Does the Tasmin 2+2 have rear seat belts?

I.e. could you put a child seat in the back?

Disclaimer: I've never seen one and only found out about their existence whilst reading Autocar last night.

No, it doesn't have rear seatbelts. Though I do know at least two people who've put rear belts in, or might have been 4point harnesses. They are small and definitely not adult sized, but rumour is, they're ok up to aged 8, ish.

Looks good!

Anyone know for sure if you can put the standard 3 point lap and diagonals in the back?

Harnesses wont do for a forward facing child seat...

I don't see why not, just need the mounting points in different places.....I'll see if I can find one of the people I know did it, to give u a brief description of what was done.

Hi-
My Tasmin is a 2+2. There is no way to get an adult in the back. Just no head or foot room. I have fitted belts in the back too. I don't think it would be very easy to fit a diagonal since I am not aware of anything strong enough to connect to that is high enough.
I don't think it will be easy to get a child seat in there either (space-wise) but you may not need to. The seats are child sized and 4 point belts work quite well. (My 2 and a half year old and 4 year old are OK in the back.)
Hope this helps.

Just thought - if you are very keen to get a child seat in the back - aren't there some that work with just lap belts? (I have a spare lap belt if you need one.)
