Well, that makes more sense than my Sears Auto Strap idea.
Very cool.

Loved that ad you posted Lynn. Still trying to picture a 10-year old who would willingly wear a leash

In 1959, I was 6, my older brother was 9, and my younger brother was 3 (youngest brother had not been born yet). Mom travelled with the three of us by train from Virginia to Oklahoma to visit her parents. We all three had on harnesses for the whole trip. She knew that was the only way she could keep all three of us under control. She turned 90 on May 18.

When my sister and I were kids, we weren't restrained in the cars at all, lol. Dad always tucked the rear seat belts under the back seat, which was a common practice back then.
Then when I turned 16 my first daily driver was a 56 nomad that didn't even have seat belts. LOL Drove that car up into my early 20's before I parked it. To some of you it's probably a miracle I'm still here |

Thanks guys. My main concern is using a booster seat which requires a shoulder belt. As of right now, I think I'm going to look at the possibility of installing some original looking rear shoulder belts.
Another option is to find a high back type of booster seat with a built in harness that uses a top tether like Tim showed. I remember all sorts of unsafe travels when I was a kid. My grandmother's 64 Pontiac had no belts at all. Dad's 67 VW had the rear belts tucked under the seat, rusted floors and a missing passenger seat for some reason. And, of course, riding to Hershey Park in the back of and old Dodge Tradesman with no seats or anything in the back. It was fun rolling across the floor into some pillows when dad had to slam on the brakes on the turnpike. |

My '68 had no rear seat belts and only a 5 point harness in the front that was a leftover from the racing days with the one-hoop roll bar. I wanted to drive my 6 yo son around (at the time) so I but in 3 point seat belts in the rear and replaced the 5 pt harness in front with over shoulder belts that are minimally adjustable. The front ones are terrible so I just use the lap belt part of those for me. May just replace them with factory belts.

This is from 1987 when my oldest was two years old. The tri-power set up was off of my '67 427/435 as was the hood. He loved driving with me in his car seat.

The reality is that there likely isn't a safe way to have any child in one of these old cars with steel bumpers and lacking crush zones. I remember one of the member's talking about how their Son was severely injured in a crash in a 69 Chevelle because the rear seat belt nearly cut him in half at impact.
I guess it's like riding a motorcycle to me...calculated risk.
