I have 2 small kids and was wondering if anybody has installed a 3rd seat belt. I have a cushion over the center armrest and my 6 year old (who doesn't need a car seat) fits on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Being able to pick up both my kids if needed is another reason to drive the car as much as I can.

I would not. You should wonder why the passenger and driver get a shoulder belt. There is a reason and in a collision the center person will likely end up kissing the dash or worse.

Shoulder restraints are good and help to prevent hyperflexion injuries of low back and facial injuries. So was there really some type of belt in 914s in the center section at some time? |

So was there really some type of belt in 914s in the center section at some time? Early cars had the mounting points for a 3rd lapbelt seatbelt. Early German registration papers (Fahrzeugbrief) showed the 914 as a 3-Seater! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
