Child safety seat - chuzie - 07-27-2010
Does anyone know if it is possible to safely secure a child seat into a 4-point harness?
If not, does anyone know how to fabricate a LATCH restraint system?
Trying to find a way to secure my kids in the Bronco.

I already have the child seats which just happen to have a 5 point harness built in. My problem is securing that child seat into my seats which have 4 point harnesses.
Most child seats are secured using a standard 3-point belt or the LATCH system. I have neither of those in my bronco and am looking for a solution (other than installing a 3 point).

I used a lap belt that was bolted through supports in the floor. A secondary ratchet strap, just there for piece of mind, that was hooked into seat slider cross-mounts and large washers.
With the angle of the lap belt pulling down and to the rear of the seat, I never had any problems.

That is an awesome picture!!!
I think my solution may be just to fab up a custom belt that I mount into my double shear tabs when I have the kids around.

Just remember that a 5 point harness on a racing seat is not DOT approved, make sure a seat belt from a car or truck is in there somewhere to avoid a ticket. I know your child's safety is you main priority not a ticket, but still.
