Sorry if already posted; but read through the car seat instructions carefully. My seats have a higher rear facing limit using the centre lap belt than the LATCH system...

Lol.. New parents. The kid will be fine. Put the seat in the middle, put your knee in it with your body weight, and tighten seat belt. It’s not going anywhere.
I concur. I also had a wife that believed the 80 was a death trap. Luckily, my local fire department had a car seat install program and I made her go (I drove the 80 and she brought my 2000 V70R, which didn't have anchors either) with me so the "professionals" could tell her it was in the truck and secure. I did have a slight backpedal when the dude looked inside and made a comment about not having the anchor points but he then proceeded to install tight as anything.Stop at your local fire department and ask for assistance to install the seat. They can show you how and even do it for you.
Get you one of these. It takes all the play out of the seat belt when it passes through the base of the baby seat.
They are awsome! It makes the seat one with the truck.

They are available for a lot less than that price if you look around.
Yup- similar story here- one of mine is still in fwd facing and we use the ol pull the belt out all the way to lock the ratchet and then play a game of hop in kidseat while pulling out any slack to get it super taught (FD gave me thumbs up)- almost as tight as the std LATCh system is in my merc...I also had a wife that believed the 80 was a death trap.

Please have your wife review Car Seats For The Littles web page or feel free to join and ask for advice on their Facebook group. It is filled with volunteer CPSTs. It clearly instructs on how to use the T clip for non retracting / locking seat belts, let alone seat belts that DO retract.Me: '92 FJ80
1. Wife wants me to sell my LC
2. Says it's not safe with the way the baby seats have to strap in instead of clipping in.
3. I suck at welding, and my wife knows this, soooo out of the question.
Will the rear seats of a newer FJ (with baby seat clips) fit into my '92?
