Question Convertible VW 2007 front facing convertible car seat

I have a VW convertible bug which has no top tether hook for a front facing car seats. Is it safe to install seat with lower tethers and seat belt through back of child seat. No tethers are equipped because rear seat back rests are welded to frame of car to act as a roll over bar in case of roll over, they pop up. So I am assuming seat is more secure and will not plunge forward or backward if hit. I am looking at a peg perego convertible seat. Any advice. I am a grandma and car isn't used every day for grandson but often. I want to have him as safe as possible without buying another vehicle.

He is almost 2 and approximately 27 lbs. Approximately 33 in. (w&h are approximate) Yes I am looking for a convertible car seat. Just looking for installation of one w/o top tether. VW seems to not be able to answer. Not sure what you mean about not using all options. FF/RF and hooking him in! Only asking for other opinions and if anyone has run into this. The amount I spend for a seat is up to me if I feel it is safe enough. Thank you anyway!

A convertible rear faces, then fowards faces later on. Usually, the harness slots aren't as tall and a foward facing only seat, so it won't last as long.

I would pm Disney World nanny, she's been on recently and has a ton of experience with bugs (she does or did at one point own one), she's also had a variety of rear and forward facing seats so she would likely be an excellent person to talk to.
