Child Seats/Harnesses

[footsoldier]

Is it possible to get a child booster seat or is there an alternative which works with six-point harness? No seatbelts present...(funny the things you forget!)

[djroadboy]

No, don't even consider it as the harnesses will not fit properly. Dangerous!

Dan, thanks.

Obviously I wouldn't take any risks at all if this won't work, but is there was any (even relatively expensive) non-conventional solution ?

eg What about if a tailored insert was made - I was thinking of the foam/bags which are (used to be?) used for single seater race seats for instance. That would fit child exactly to the belts/seat would it not?

In effect, would that not the same as an off the shelf kid's seat with its own harness, (which is in fact safer than boosters with normal belts?)

Cheers.

Hmm... note to self.
Find live child subject for crash testing home built booster seat!

My daughter has ridden in my Elise since she was 3 months old. Now she is 5 years old she has a Britax booster seat. Ok for short trips. She gets a bit travel sick on longer trips. She can’t see much out of the front.

I have used www.incarsafetycentre.co.uk at Milton Keynes. They were really helpful and tried a few seats to get the best fit.
I hope this helps.

There is nothing that has the european r44 approval kite mark for your six point harness i am affraid.
Most booster seats will fit but using only the 3pt adult belt.

I have some dummies & a crash lab you cant rent if you like?

Couldn't you just install a standard seatbelt on the passenger side (along side the harnesses) and use that?
