Looking for a 5 point harness seat which works with a short seatbelt

I need to fit a baby seat and 2 x 5 point harness seats across the back seat of a Volvo Xc90. The problem I have at the moment is the central seatbelt is comparatively short (and no isofix) and I can't find a car seat which fits, booster style seats seem fine but my DD1 is only just 15kg and short so I'm nervous about moving her out of a 5 point harness too soon. Does anyone have any suggestions for a seat which will fit with a short seatbelt?

I have a britax two way elite that is harnessed until 25kgs but i have no idea if it will fit your car along side the other seats. you could phone the incar safety centre and ask them. they have a website with the contact details. www.incarsafetycentre.co.uk

Thanks, I will give them a ring, I think we're fine for width accross the back it's the seatbelt length which is the problem! It's good to know that there is a car seat that harnesses them up to 25kg.

I would also say the TWE seat. Also the Britax First class could be an option as it has an alternative routing for short belts.

It is worth giving the In car safety people a ring as they realy know their stuff and will be able to advise you on your options. link to their web site.

Britax First class should work. As Myboots says it works on an alternative routing- sometimes it fits when all others don't.
