my wonderful 97 sl500 only has lap belts in rear seats. will I get nicked if my daughter (aged 7) is sat there, even with a prescribed "booster" ?
can you retro-fit full belt sets? have stealers prepared for this?

Here is the new law, have a read...http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/law/index.htm

Quote
'Cars - Children Aged 3 to 11 years and under 1.5 metres tall
If carried in the front seat, an appropriate child restraint MUST be worn IF AVAILABLE.
If not, an adult seat belt MUST be worn.

If carried in the rear seat, an appropriate child restraint MUST be worn IF AVAILABLE.
If not, an adult seat belt MUST be worn IF AVAILABLE.

If an appropriate restraint or seat belt is fitted in the front of the car, but not in the rear, children between 3 to 11 years old and under 1.5 metres tall MUST use that restraint or seat belt. (Remember, you could move the restraint from the front to the rear if you wish).'
