- has sideways-facing seats?
There's no legal requirement to fit seat belts in sideways-facing seats. The human body bends forward from the waist - not sideways - the potential for internal and spinal injury is high if a passenger uses a seat belt in a sideways-facing seat. For similar reasons, the type-approval standard for child seats and boosters does not include fixing them in a sideways-facing seat.
A child who is required to use a child seat/booster (ie, all those under 135 cms tall who are also under 12 years old) cannot travel in a sideways-facing seat. A child who needs to use a child seat or booster must use a forward or rear-facing seat.

How many seats does it say on your V5? there's your answer.
If youv'e fitted more seats update the V5 and the insurance

thats cool. I was about to install a rear bench seat and buy/install lap belts. So no seatbelts. Cool. I may not even ever use the rear seats, but we all like options right!
Update: V5, does it cost to amend, RE: increased seating. Also is there a limit to the number of seats you can install. I guess in a 90 with a cubby holder you could get 8 people, 6 in back and 2 in front.

I just checked my V5 and it has no details about the number of seats. Only really talks about engine size and class of vehicle (maybe due to being a 1991, and old). So If I increase the number of seats, there is no reason to inform and amend the V5? just the insurance policy. 6 people sounds more reasonable.
