Pls help if you know why these aren't around anymore--I need to know
They were actually more unsafe because only the part across your torso was automated and you still had to manually buckle the lap belt. People generally didn’t do that and got injured badly, a standard 3 point plus airbag is much safer. Then add in the driver side door airbag and the system is doooooomed
Lol wait, these had lapbelts with them? Uhhh, yeah glad I didn't get in any wrecks with it. Oops...
Yep. I didn't even know this for over a decade on my mom's 94 Nissan Sentra. Apparently the lap belts had retracted underneath the rear floor mats. Mom didn't know either.
I had always assumed the buckles for those were meant for some odd central child safety seat add-on, but nope, they were for the totally hidden lap belts. 🤦♂️
I didn't find out until a previous related online thread only last year, which sent me on the hunt for the hidden lap belts, which I could have previously swore didn't even exist.
I got a citation for not having mine on right outside my house Don't ask how the cop could determine this. That would dignify them too much
