Agree with all of the above.
One other issue is kids less than 3. Law says must be in car seat, car seat must be mounted securley to the car using the manufacturer designed mounting points etc et .
We found a 1970's Brittax seat at the tip, probably the sort of thing my mum and dad strapped me in the 1303s Beetle we used to have back in thw day. Designed for a lap belt.
I took the rear squab out of the auatin. Made a sort of lift in plywood table to make the floor accept the seat, and then rat shit strapped the seat to the luggage rack mounting bolts in the back corner of the body.
There were no illusions that this gave any extra safety vs having the child rolling round the back seat. But it did I believe comply with the law. And we never got pulled
