I have an older xj and from time to time I have to take my 3 yr old with me and I have found that the car seat he is in doesn't seem to sit on the seat vary well it feels like it wobbles and It wants to flip foreword .
Since its an older xj it doesn't have a place to clip the retaining strap . So is there a place I could bolt on a " bar " on the roof to clip it on

All though this is point less since my 3 yr old is taller than most 5 yr olds and he will be in a booster seat soon / now . I still want him to be safe with me since he has bin with me and " helping me" with every mod I have made

 

When my kids are in their boosters I noticed they have no head support at all... so in a rear impact they would have some serious whiplash... something to think about. I prefer they go w/o a booster so their head is level with the back of the seat.

 

Not the right place for questions bud. Try asking in Cherokee Chat. When you begin to build/fab something up then feel free to post your progress here.

My .02 is to bolt something to the floor, not the roof.

 

Well I am thinking of fabbing a bracket ?


The booster I'm looking at has a head rest

 

Not to be smart a$$ but I'm good at it.

Thinking about it goes in chat, doing it goes in fab.

 

Lol

 

Ok thin ill fab up some thing this weekend and make this tread legit

 

In for the results as I need to do this also.

 

i needa get the seatbelts that lock up when you pull them out all the way, and no xjs have the metal hook things in the seats to clip on the base of a carseat to. mines a 98

 

i don't let my kids ride in the jeep. crumple zones, seat belt retractors, factory car seat hooks, proper head rests, side impact beams and side/curtian airbags helped me make that decision. maybe i'm paranoid...

 

My dad put us in the back of a pickup truck when went for rides. Of course that was back in 1978.

I like to think we have evolved a bit since then. lol

You can never be too paranoid when it comes to protecting your kids.

 

Bubble wrap.........

 

I think bubble wrap will do it

I have no plans on taking my 3 yr old on a trail that could end in some sort of harm to him but there will be times where the jeep could be on a steep grade or leaning to one side or the other where the car seat could shift and make him scared of going off road with me .

 

Yep that will do it. Ill just tie him down

 

dear god. who let you breed? lmao
