you could just put the baby seat in the front middle seat and save yourself the hassle. That's what i have done.
There are a couple of types of child seats available which are designed and approved for use with a lap belt.Hope you got a three point seat belt in the middle then
Sure mr Plod not be to happy if you havn't

On a personal note I wouldn,t put my baby in a car seat that only had a lap belt on. But then that is just my opion.
Int it amazin' wot a few years can do?
Can anyone else remember the furore which went on when compulsory seat belts were introduced (still not compulsory for lorry drivers) - all that angst about freedom of the individual and lengthy discussions as to whether it was better to be trapped by a seat belt or thrown clear?
none of my kids had seat belts - at least as babies - and its no good saying "there were less cars then" coz I come from years of no drink drive laws - used to regularly drive to London - listen to a band, get slaughtered and drive home fifty miles or so.
There is just to many idiots on the road now, that think cos its a landy its going slow so like pulling out in front of you to make ya brake hard.
The seat i use for my daughter is only desiged to be used with a lap belt. What it has ( as do all child seats in AUS) is a strap that goes from the top of the seat to a purpose built bracket that i have installed in the panel behind the seats.Thanks Ian for the info - exmoortrim's approved seat is very nice but £ 495 each!, the front middle lap belt is an option ( i'd have to get one fitted ) but its the usual story, you'd never forgive yourself if you didn't try to have the safest set up for your kids, but my child seat i have in our diso has an option / approval to use a lap belt, is their any safety regs on this one?
dont get me wrong - i aint advocating not using a seat belt - but do yu honestly think " used to regularly drive to London - listen to a band, get slaughtered and drive home fifty miles or so." was not idiotic - and yu get a lot less of that today?
I think driving 50 miles getting slaughtered and driveing home was idiotic but I think a very small minority of people would do that today, risk of getting caught. Are you talking about the days before the drink drive law?
People were far less educated on the dangers then.
Wonder who said that beforeHave you read the thread??????????????????????????

I don't have a link but i will have a look around for you mate.Thanks Auzboy82 got any brands or websites for the seat your're talking about, the seat I have ( in the disco) has both options but the lap belt option doesn't give me much faith because it just secures the seat at the lap ( obviously!) leaving a lot of play at the top i.e. the top of the seat would collide with the dash in the event of a smack. Also I wasn't suggesting that youre talking any chances with your princess.
