    Kid Seats/Belts Trail and Street

    Alright, my kids are getting kinda big for the car seats that have the 5 point harnesses built into them and would like to provide more than just the lap belt as I do take them in the Bronco on the street as well. I have looked at some of the preemie seats and teen seats by the vendors but none are DOT approved and likely never will be.

    What are you guys running for your kids and how old are they?
    I have a 5, 3, and 1 yr old. The 1 yr old is accounted for but the others are where my concern is right now as they use a booster and shoulder belt in the car but that isnt an option currently in the Bronco (and I would like more support than just the shoulder in the Bronco since I dont run with a top.

    Thats how I rub...I mean roll!

    Lap belts. Does that make me a bad parent?

    When I was a kid, we would Jeep all day in the High Sierra's with four kids and two parents in a WWII Willy's.

      Yeah I know, I grew up with lap belts in the back of a pinto station wagon and run lap belts still for myself on mine but would like a little more safety and peace of mind for the minions.

        Just throwing this out there but call Crow Belts http://www.crowenterprizes.com/ ( in LA area) maybe you two could come up with something. We all know there is a market for something. One more thing check JEGS.Com in the JR Dragser http://www.jegs.com/c/Jr-Dragster_Sa...10419/10002/-1

          Josh, Ive got some 4 point kid harnesses if you want them... also, I have seen some guys (bronken and others) put in the kid size seats with harnesses that really seems to be the safest IMO.

            Better to be safe than DOT approved. If the seat didn't come with seat belts from the factory, legally you don't need them, so non-DOT should be fine.

              Sounds like a plan.

                I run the aftermarket kids seats with a 2" 5 point harness (Taylor I think) and the kids love em'. I have been pulled over with the kids in the truck and the officer made a comment on how safe the kids looked. I doubt the cops are looking for DOT seats for the kids. If I was a little more computer savey I would post a pic

                  Come on Ken, get some of that saveyness going, we love pics ;D

                  I ordered a set of kid seats on Monday and Pops is hooking a brother up with some 4 points. I got most of my mounting system made today, 4 rear lower bars with unistrut sliders to move the kid seats and the bench seat around on as needed (running seating for 6). Going to put a console between the seats too so they can have access to their own snacks and drinks. Need to make sure I mount it so they can get to it while still in their harness'.
                  My neighbor is a fire chief and I talked to him about it today, he asked me what I thought was safest, I told him the aftermarket kid seats with harness', he said it would take a real character of a police officer to give a ticket for doing something that would make it more safe for my children.

                  Looking forward to getting them in, I will be sure to post pics when I get it done for some feedback. Seats show on Friday so not going to be able to run them for Big Bear but still cruise with the kids plenty on the streets so I will get it done when I get back.
