Where does it say this? I know if its a kid it has to be a 3 point belt to use with a booster seat but I've just fitted a lap belt to mine and there won't be any children sitting in the middle

Mines only ever had a lap belt and it's never been mentioned at the M.O.T., and they have definitely checked the belts properly, buggers failed it on one of them last year

I'm sure there was a change in law cause transit drivers wer kicking off. Might be wrong and on my phone....could someone do a search and say for sure?

they are legal, but the rules for children sitting in them are a minefield, i believe there ok for occasional use just the same as a kid can sit in the back of your car without a booster if its occasional.
check it all out regarding kids and booster and seat belts on the GOV website
Personally i wouldn't have put mine in the middle seat. Had him in the passenger seat a few times in his booster with the Mrs in the middle but #### its a tight squeeze

Little,n in a child seat seat on the passenger seat, wife in the middle and me trying to drive. Its like sitting in a captains seat using her leg as an armrest . Changing gear is awkward. I tried to get her to change for me but that didnt work, couldn,t find any gear. Its not too bad round here so only have them in it when going to tip, woods etc. The only thing im not happy about is the lack of a head restraint behind the middle seat.

you know people like you are so fooking stupid it defies belief??? Do you really think that the law makes an exception for "occasional" failures to obey the law? & if so would they mind if I " occasionally" murdered you??
The law is very clear on children been carried in side facing seats. You may not use any type of restraint on a child in a side facing seat. Also children get priority over any seats that have a belt fitted (with exception of drivers seat) So the missus must give up the front seat if you have a child and no other APPROVED child restraint..

Put a 3 point harness in mine anorl. Don't use it often but don't like the thought of anyone head-butting me dash (S2a) with a lapbelt on
ok not ocassional use, but redhand your still being a fanny and murder me ha away and act tough to your wife until she bitch slaps you
Children aged 3 and above, until they reach EITHER their 12th birthday OR 135cm in height
In the Front Seat
The child MUST use the correct child restraint.
In the Rear Seat
The child MUST use the correct restraint, where seat belts are fitted.
There are three exceptions where there is not a child seat available. In each case the child MUST use the adult belt instead. They are -
1) in a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle;
2) if the child is travelling on a short distance for reason of unexpected necessity;
3) if there are two occupied child restraints in the rear which prevent the fitment of a third.
In addition, a child 3 and over may travel unrestrained in the rear seat of a vehicle if seat belts are not available.
It is the driver's legal responsibility to ensure that the child is correctly restrained.
