Hi setanta1. I've looked them up on carzone and they do in fact have the full compliment of belts in the back. The yaris only started to have them in 2003 and all the 2004 models have them. I tried my one booster seat in the back of a 3 door yaris and measured the remaining space so 3 boosters should fit in snugly. The clio has full seatbelts as far back as 1999 as far as i can see. And the current model fiesta has them too. Surprised me too.Hi Ollie
I would have thought that none of the cars that you mentioned will have three three-point seatbelts in the back. The middle one will most likely be just a lap belt. I suspect that to get what you are looking for you will have to go up a size to a small MPV.
Man! Cars are all becoming based on one chassis nowadays aren't they!I have a Daihatsu Terios ......... It's essentially a Yaris in a different body!
Celtwytch, "tanks" for the tank size!

Thats a painful experience for sure! I've been looking at car seats whenever possible and there are some differences in where the seats mate with the seats in the car. Some are really wide and leave no room for accessing the seatbelt latch jobbie with the red button. In the kia cee'd, the buckles are only just accessible with car seats installed. My wife won't touch them unless she has to. It'll be interesting with boosters. If you look up ebay there are seatbelt extensions you can get. All they are is a short bit of seat belt, probably 6 inches or so, with a male and female bit on each end. All you do is plug one end into the buckle in the seat, and the existing seatbelt plugs into the other end. Naturally they can only be used with booster seats but it might save you having to sell your car. Here's a link to ebay with the relevant search results:[broken link removed]We have an Octavia 1.4 which has 3 full seat belts in the back however as we found out on Saturday when we got our new baby seat fitted for our impending arrival(already have one baby seat in) the booster will not fit at all the middle seat so now we have a big problem i.e. new car which we can't really afford.
We only bought this one in Feb 08 and I love it and the boot space is huge for double buggy, shopping etc. Most of the car seats are standard size so that isn't an option either - our online seat fitter said the Skoda could take the seats but in practice it doesn't and it wasn't a very nice lesson to learn I can tell you!
