Subject:Re: Adding a baby seat to my Westfalia

My Graco baby seat is approved with for use with static manual lap
belts, such as the ones in the rear of the Westy.  I cinch the belt
down tightly by putting the weight of my knee on the baby seat to
compress the Westy seat foam.  This results in a very steady and
secure mount.  I imagine you could install your central tether to
supplement the seat belt.  Look in your seat manual to see what
applies.
