Anybody have any recommendations in this area? Does the absence of a shoulder strap on the seatbelt limit your options for recent models of car seats? Are there infant seats made for use with lap belts only?

Thanks, Tom

P.S. Car is a '66 Dodge Dart.

I put my boys in my Dart all the time. The seats for the younger kids (about 4 and younger) will strap in with a lap belt. My oldest has a new seat that is just a booster, and uses the lap belt, so that is a problem.
Another thing is, the back seat belts buckle in the middle, which ends up behind their back (ouch!). I wrap the buckles in a towel and they don't seem to be bothered.

My family has two Graco seats, I've used the infant seat that has it's own straps in the middle position in the back seat in my car (it only needs a lap belt that won't retract to secure the seat.

My son is now heavy and old enough that I can use a booster seat in the front passenger seat since it has shoulder belts (if anyone argues about it, ask a pickup truck driver where they put their kid in a booster seat...same location). You might look around and see if you can retrofit your car to a set of shoulder belts from a 1975-1976 mopar A-body...(have better buckles and retractors than the 1973-1974's).
