Wind Deflectors for Sale

Csaba's right (as is always the case!). There are factory anchors for the rear lapbelts (I use mine as cargo hold downs), and I found the front shoulder belt anchors (and use them with the customized retractors from Seatbeltplanet). However, there's no provision (short of new holes drilled into the body) for the LATCH belts/clips used by the current generation of car seats. Once Maelena graduates to a booster seat, we will revisit the rear area; until then, it'll be short rides in the (airbagless) front seat (if mom sez it's ok!).

If anyone's still interested, I will post pix of my shoulder belt work on the 72. It involved a lot of cutting on the outer plastic panels, and due to angles, one must be slooooow in pulling out the belt. But it works great.

You mean those child seat can ONLY be used with the latch system? I've been using kid seats recently, and all the ones we had were able to be used either with a belt or the latch system.

Ahhhhh! inspiration! And photo documentation!!! Thanks, Csaba; a major assist to the "ice cream run" efforts!

My youngest daughter (7 y.o.) rides in the front for ice-cream runs with a booster only (not the full seat). Just like Csaba's pic, the best part is that's when I get a drink holder for my coffee. My older daughter (9 y.o.) is big enough not to need one.

I've definitely got my eye on the windscreen... Especially if I'm driving down to Pittsburgh for the F.F.O 2015.

Right now, though, both girls can still fit in the back so no windscreen yet:

Their mum has been fighting terminal cancer for two years now so this was definitely a good day and one for the memory book.

Buying a Spider is the probably one of the best damned things I've ever done for the family.

I drove on the freeway in my project car which doesn't have a windscreen. I forgot how brutal it can be without one.

Hi,
My son is now old enough to just need a booster as well, makes things much easier. With the child seat I could not get the belt to lock, so I had to install everything, pull fast on the belt to lock it and then push the seat forward to keep the belt tight.
Sorry to hear about your wife, my mom battled cancer for several years. Glad to hear that having the Spider helps.
