Paul Sage can do three point belts (poss four, I'm not too sure) for kids in the back seats, but I haven't done it yet.
However, When I was chatting to him about it we noticed that one of the cars he had in the garage at the time had proper 3 point inertia belts fitted... he hadn't noticed before.
He didn't think it was factory done so must have been an enterprising previous owner.

Erm, havent got a clue then! I find winding the drivers seats back as far as they can go, crushing the kids normally stops them flying through the windscreen!

Tie a bungy strap around their necks and hook it onto the back of the rear seat.
I hear it allows you to adjust their volume by breaking hard......

I believe some German GTAs had rear 3 point belts as standard. Looking at the GTA wreck at Paul Sages', that had the plastic trim removed, revealed a steel frame inside the roofline, but did not have a tag for the top seat belt bolt welded in place. I don't know the year of that car. It may be an early one. Having that steel frame accessible would surely make it possible to weld in a tag and cut a hole in the plastic trim to put in a lap/sash belt, although not an inertia reel. It is a bit of an effort, but looks what I will be forced to do, to register my import GTA.
