conversion vans

My dad just got a Sprinter van. But he got it with custom seats. He has 2 side facing benches with lapbelts (he already knows I can't put the kids there). What about the big luxury captains chairs? They have lap/shoulder belts. He wants to know if he can take the big girls (in boosters). I told him I had to find out if boosters can go in those seats. It seems like it might be ok but I wanted to get other opinions first. What do you think?

How would I find that out? Would it be in the manual? Would the manual be adapted for the custom seats?

I don't know. Who did the conversion? And was it someone you can trust to answer the question honestly and accurately?

I would think then that Mercedes would be required by law to build the seats to standards... but I don't know for certain. I would call them and ask.

ETA: I think I would specifically ask whether those luxury seats and their seat belts are built to comply with the same FMVSS that regular vehicle seats need to meet.

You never know... they may even have latch anchors.
