Right, but bringing it full circle, that seems (to me) like the illegality of it is because they are non-factory and non-DOT approved restraints so you may not technically be wearing a (legally defined) seat belt in the eyes of a police officer. Not because a 5 pt harness system is less safe than a basic 3 point. The danger comes in improper mounting and placement.
