Baby seat 99 Trans Am, nees recommendations Was wondering if anyone has a baby seat recommendation for a 4th gen? My car is a 99, so it doesn't have the latch system. Is there a retrofit kit, did someone make their own latch systen? Is the locking seat belt just fine? Then what baby seat would fit best back there, my kid would be forward facing

From an earlier thread...
It turns out that they are still available and only cost $15.
As far as the child seats themselves - sorry, I can't help you there.
The hooks on the trunk floor (called the "LATCH" - Lower Anchor and Tether for CHildren - system) weren't included in f-bodies until the 2000 model year. They were available as a dealer installed option prior to that so it's possible you might still be able to buy them (part number 10251104). As far as I know, they just bolt in so you can install them yourself.

It's been 20+ years for me but used to haul both my kids in my 01 Camaro every day. back then we just had the baby seats that just used the lap portion of the belt and route the shoulder portion behind it. Did just fine...even with a hit of nitrous for fun.. Then again I grew up in the backs of pickups and looking backwards in the Vista Cruiser.

With that being said the rear belts should lock in a crash. I can't say how safe or unsafe the children would be.

Whichever car seat you get, make sure to put a towel or blanket under it because the car seat will leave indentations in the leather.
