Rear seat belts with car seats

[97JeepTJ4x4]

I’m looking to add a third seat belt to my Jeep and the two retractable seat belts don’t lock when a car seat is in.

I have yet to take my kids in the Jeep due to this and really want to. What have you done to add a third seat belt and place 3 car seats… Links to new parts would be great.

Thanks

I think the rear seat is designed to accommodate only two passengers. I personally would not add a third seat belt.

Love the enthusiasm, I have a 2yr and a 4yr. There is no way to squeeze 3 car seats in, like 0 chance haha. It gets tight in the LJ with a rear facing and and forward facing.

Take a look, if you pull ALL the seat belt out of the retractor when your hooking up the car seats they will lock up.
Pull the belt ALL out, hold it as you connect the belt to the seat, after it's connected as you let the belt retract you will hear it " click "as it retracts when it's in this mode the belt will continue to tighten and not release like when you use a seatbelt normally.
Good luck and be safe with the little ones !

Im not sure what I’d do with 3 kids but I’d probably figure it out, right now my kid and his friend (wen he comes) has PRP 5 OT harness

My kids are all over 6'3". I couldn't get 2 of them in the back seat, much less 3.

You'll have to buy a minivan; I mean a JK.

Yeah which is how my other cars work but for some reason the Jeep ones when pulled all the at out still don’t lock

Yeah I can see that. It’s really only to putt them around town or when I take it off road.

Lol would be fun to see tho haha… I have two that are 6 and one that’s 4.5. Want to have some fun before it’s not even an option

Does your Jeep have the anchors removed. I always anchored my kids car seats down and the seat belt was just there as extra.

I'm interested in the answer to this. I have a 5 year old daughter who loves playing around in my jeep but has never ridden in it. I would love to take her out. The anchors aren't laid out in a way that makes since to attach the LATCH system on the car seat and my seatbelts don't lock when I pull them out either.

Bite your tongue.

My 5 are all ages 38-50. We have fun together, but they bring their own vehicles now.

I was able to use the cargo anchors with the LATCH system seat, but you can only have one seat back there with that attachment.

Just get a motorcycle...

1 is all I need. Let me look at the layout again. That would make more sense.

Pull the back seat...buy a tube bender and build/weld a triple car seat anchor/platform and exoskeleton. Rouge Fab makes a nice one.

Make it bolt in so in a couple of years when the kids get bigger you can pull it and put the original seat back.
