<VV> Re: rear seat /belts

Chris,
    Sounds like good grounds for a lawsuit!!  You  can claim "mental anguish" 
now that you realize what terrible danger you, as a  dependent child, where 
forced to endure!!
    I'll bet that John Edwards would be glad to take  your case.<GGGGG>
 
    Seriously, your comments remind me that many years  ago when son Jim was 
only a few years old, I bought a harness from Sears (I  think) and bolted it 
to the firewall BEHIND the rear seat in the 65 Monza  convertible.  With the 
harness on, he could lie down, sit up but couldn't  move forward or to the side. 
 It seemed to work well until that scary  day when he startled his poor 
mother (who was driving) by "magically"  appeared between the front seats with a 
big grin on his face.  With his  early development of pre-engineering skills he 
had figured out how to UNDO the  harness buckles that held him safely in 
position in the back seat.  Another  good idea gone wrong!<GGG>

if there is a child in it.  I rode in the back of a Vair while  growing  up.  
A 
66 with folding rear seat.  I agree that  the rear seat should  be secure but 
this is not just a child  restraint issue.  Anyone in the rear  seat is in 
jeopardy  really.  My front seats fold forward too.  

Food for  thought
