Re: How do I fix a baby carrier using a lap belt?

Just be aware that the JK seat belt is not always long enough, the Brickwerks one is significantly longer. While the JK one might be OK with a stage 1 and 2 seat, it would definitely not be long enough for a stage zero/baby car seat.
Britax eclipse and prince are safe with lapbelts, halfords staff don't always know what they are talking about. Check with manufacturers first.
From the britax website:
Q. My car has a 2-point lap belt on the centre of the rear seat. Which child seat can I use?
A. How can I transport three children in this car? A rearward facing infant carrier must only be used with a 3-point belt. The same applies to boosters (also in combination with a backrest). For the installation with a 2-point lap belt the ECLIPSE and the PRINCE are suitable. They allow your child (or one of your children) weighing between 9 and 18 kg to be transported safely and comfortably in the centre position of the rear seat, even if it is only equipped with a 2-point lap belt.
