Subject:Rear-facing safety was: Re: WTB: Westy swivel seat swiv'ler

This reminds me:  anyone out there done a mod to allow the passenger seat to
remain in the rear-facing position while driving, i.e. seatbelt, lock the
swivel base, etc.?  It seems the seat could be locked by adding a notch at
the rear similar to the one that locks in the front.  Thoughts on impact in
the rear-facing position?
tx,
