Don't hedge your kid's safty on an in-class project.

Use the child seats that have their own straps and buckles, and feed the lap belts through the back of the safety seat. The seat belt will retain the satey seat, and the straps and buckles on the seat will restrain the child. If all you have are booster seats for the kids, don't start spot welding things on the roof hoping it will hold your kids. You may have to wait until they are older and able to sit on the seat itself.

You and your kids want to be safe, or a statistic? I know thats harsh but think about it a bit before deciding. I have an 88 TA and already fitted two of the child seats I have. My kids are in boosters but still fit well on the full seats that have straps. They'll be safe and when I get my car road worthy I'll be able to drive with them without thinking about some tech kids' spot welds.

Despite the two family vehicles, 3 kids, wife and mortgage, I can finally realize the dream - 88 TA almost all stock... for now. http://www.cardomain.com/id/untameddave Wanted this - , but ended up with this - for free. Can't argue with free.
