Yea, I do know in NY child seats with a lap belt is a BIG no-no,
I know the little ones go with their parents to car shows etc, but Ive never
payed attention to just HOW they legally get those car seats in there!

My three kids (ages 1, 3, and 5) have always ridden in my squareback,  
whether with infant car seats or booster seats. One has to ride in  
the front, which I believe is legal here in TX as long as there is  
not a passenger airbag. Car seats and booster seats in the back had  
to be used with lap belts only. Since that is all the car was  
originally equipped with, it is legal (in TX anyway), as they can't  
prevent you from transporting your kids in your own vehicle just  
because the original equipment doesn't meet current standards. Until  
a few months ago, that car was my wife's daily driver, and that was  
the only way for them to get around.
