has anyone fabricated such a thing. i was looking in my car this evening and noticed that there are basically only two bolts to the bottom half of the seat belt system (unless i am missing something).
my idea was to take a piece of flat steel (1/4"?) and drill two holes in either end of it. one end to put the bolt thru and the other to put the LATCH thru. sound like it will work? i still plan on using the seat belt in addition to my fabricated latch system. but i need to do something, because i get too much side to side movement with just the seat belt. any other suggestions? |

Sounds like that's all you need to do. With the LATCH system you really won't need the seatbelt.

Get a extra seat rail, and mount it to the bottom of the baby seat (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) . Then you could just slide the baby seat in and lock it into position when you want to take the young'un for a spin, and if attached to the seat rail firmly, that baby ain't goin' nowhere........literally!
