Seriously, this is the stupidest idea ever.
Try installing a high back booster seat with an inflatable belt. It doesn't fit through the damn slot in the booster seat.
Plus, all the major manufacturers don't recommend using an inflatable belt with their seats because no one know what kind of effect it will have on the seat if it deploys.
This car finds a new way to piss me off every day.
Umm... I use a high back booster with the inflatable belts every day. I use a Graco high back and the inflatable portion does fit through the slot, it just doesn't slide very easily, so that's why I buckle first, then loop the thin part through the slot.
My seat:
Step 1, buckle the seat without going through the slot (normally a child would be in the seat).
Step 2, thread the thin portion (visible in step 1's picture to the right of the tag that says "inflatable belt") through the slot:
Done:
Takes all of 10 seconds.
here's the link on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Highback-TurboBooster-Seat-Spitfire/dp/B004GEC8LU
$50.00 - not too bad.
And here's the awesome part. My kids will be better protected if they're in an accident because of these belts. It's actually going to improve their chances of not being injured. I for one think it's worth the extra second or two it takes to properly fasten them in with these belts given the safety benefits.
