Thread: First Drive of Defender + Child seats

Strong enough - almost certainly.

Legal - definitely not, but don't take that as me saying you should not do it

Once you move to a non-tethered booster seat you will also find that door side seats have the top seat belt mount sitting forward of the back of the seat, so anyone sitting there can move forward a bit before taking up the slack on the seat belt. The angle of the seat also makes sleeping difficult, and I had to put a pillow in behind the bottom of the booster seat to get more lean on it.

For kids in a booster seat the safest seat is the middle one due to the location of the seat belts, but don't plan on seeing anything out the back.

The location of the second row seat belts is a PITA for booster-seated kids hey. I'd put my booster seated kid in the middle but it wont fit with another child-seat for kid 2 also...

that and the kids are more likely to lark around in the back!
