Jim,

P-mail me and I can help with the infant/child seat questions. My wife has her carseat installation certification, she owns a childrens store and assists her customers with this issue regularly.

As for a shoulder belt for the rear seat, it can be done. Passenger vans came with them and the mounting points are built into the body of your van. Search the archives and you may find something on this, if not let me know as I probably have something saved in my computer. Our own van is also a Westy Syncro and I have acquired the rear belt assembly, but not had time this summer to install it yet. We purchased a building for my wifes store and have been busy getting it ready so that we can move from the present location, hopefully the end of this month.
