Ok, dh is building a street legal dune buggy, with front bucket seats and space for two back passengers. For now, we want to put harnessed seats there for our two youngest, most likely the Nautilus. The only thing is that when they outgrow the harnesses on the Nautilus, we still want more protection than it would give with it as a booster and just a lap/shoulder belt. We have 4 point harnesses similar to this:
Would you feel comfortable using an after market racing harness like this with the Nautilus? The buggy will not really have a back seat per se, just a place to attach the seats so the Nautilus would actually be acting like the seating area, KWIM? We don't have room for much back there, but want to have the option of the girls riding in it for as long as we own it (maybe forever lol!). At least if we can use the Nautilus harnessed now, and with a 4 pt harness later, then they should be ready for nearly full size racing seats after that. With a 6 yr life span for the seats, even Laura would be 10+ and I'm sure we can find racing seats to fit them with the 4 pt harness by then.
Ok, so lots if information and rambling here, but bottom line, would you use the 4 pt with the Nauti?
