My 4 year old is my co-pilot. However, he is in the car seat still.

Are you talking front or rear seat harnesses? My Z11 came with rear shoulder harnesses but they are very easy to reproduce. I know a guy here in NJ, Kevin Wright that has the measurements for the rear units. He made up the set for my car as a previous owner threw them away. For my 4 year old, I use the booster seat and thread the shoulder harnesses as listed in the instructions. Some of the booster seats have built in shoulder harnesses and work very well with just the lap belt to hold the booster seat in place. Take a morning and visit your local Walmart or Babies-R-Us and check out all the different child seats available. You may find your answer there.

Thanks guys. My Son will be 5 shortly and my daughter will be 3 (she's still in a car seat, so that's no problem). I'll check on-line and see what might be available but our current car seats are pretty nice and they say they can't be used with their harnesses after 40 lbs - they become boosters then and you must use the vehicle's belts.

I didn't look at the link Zedder but being they are that young you can probably get the car seats that have the thing that comes over their head and buckles in and then set up a tether to the package tray area

Most car seats are only good until they reach 40 lbs. That link shows a few that go up to 65 lbs, but there is also a harness that they sell that attaches to the lap belt and would do the trick nicely! Gotta keep the little ones safe you know

If mine were good they got to ride in the trunk with bubble wrap. If they weren't good, no bubble wrap.

Thanks again for the advice...I did a Google seach and came up with a couple of solutions here http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/lapbelts.aspx [/ QUOTE ] Zedder, thanks for the link! My wife and I have been trying to find something more comfortable for our son to ride in and found it on the Britax site. They are now the makers of the Snug Seat brand for kids with special needs. We had bought one of the seats from Snug Seat about 4 years ago and it is now discontinued and being replaced by the Britax Traveler. This one should actually fit in the Camaro. Again thanks for the heads up! .............RatPack............ |
