I believe it depends on the style of car seat - some do require a shoulder
belt, and some don't.  If you check around, you can probably come up
with an over-40-pound that can get by with just a lap belt.  (On the other
hand, of course, the shoulder belts will be a good idea anyway once the
kids are too big for a car seat.)
