Why the shoulder harnesses..lap belts no good?
Car that fast?
Are they out of kid seats and or booster chairs?

One in a car seat that the lap belt will work for, but the other is in a booster, so need a harness.

Ok well I cant help you with that..I only have 1 child and he is 2 so still in a car seat.
Looks like I may be in your shoes later down the line.
I don't know anything on how booster seats work...Ill cross that hurdle when I get there...sorry I couldn't help any more...:frown:

I have come up with a solution. I purchased a set of shoulder harnesses from Wesco Performance in gray for $65.00 ea. They have the retractor included and I just mounted that on the package tray area. There were some holes already there that I just had to poke thru from underneath and bolted right up. I used the existing mounting points for the other connections. Biggest problem was getting the old seat belt bolts out!

That actually looks dangerous to me. I wouldn't put my kids in with the belts crossing that high. Maybe I'm just not seeing it right since no one is seated. What I did for my boys was a smaller 4 point and secured the shoulder belts in the trunk. the lap belts secured in the factory seat belt location. Worked like it would work great, fortunately I never had to find out.
