I have to fit 2 car seats and a booster seat in to my Commadoore.
Fitting them isn't the problem it is the buckle for the booster seat. Because my son is in a booster seat we are using the protector harness, which has the normal seatbelt thread through it and buckle up as normal. My problem is that with the three seats in the car, we can't reach the buckle to buckle him in everytime. I tried to get a seatbelt extention to make the buckle sit up higher, but cant seem to find any around here where I live.
I am hoping someone can help me as Baby 3 will be here any day now.

Thanks
Amanda

You can usually get the extenders form Kmart, BigW or Target if they do not have any in ask them if they could order one in for you. You might find them at Supercheap, or Auto Barn also. Toyworld and ToysRus are also another good place

What are these extenders you are referring to??

Do they place the buckle up part of the normal seat belt up higher??

I too am wondering how I'm going to fit a capsule and two boosters in without fighting to get the seat belts done up each time.

Thanks for any info :thumbsup:

Thanks angel_kisses9798 but my Commodoore is to old for that buckle to fit.
Kells and angelbaby8 the seatbelt extenders make the buckle sit up beside the booster seat rather than down on the original car seat.
I will let you know where I find one.
There is one on ebay but it depends on your car as to whether it will fit or not.
Hope that helps

Bugger....I hope you find something soon. I know when we had a VB Commodore, the booster seat wouldn't fit in it. The only other option I can think of is to buy a different type of seat, but they aren't cheap.

Most local councils hold a car safety day where they fit the car seats properly for free we went and they gave us the extender for free and a little gift bag... Maybe ring your local council and see if they can help or if not look in your local directory theres qualified technicians who fit carseats etc.:)

I have two of these in my car and I got them from a guy off ebay, but as you say they dont fit all cars as I got one for my friends new car and it wont fit in the middle buckle.

Well, it seems I may have run out of options. They don't seem to manufacture any for my car. Does anyone know of anyone who makes custom built seatbelts? I think I may have to have it specially made.
