Mmm, helpful but it's still not 100% clear to me about two seater classics with no belts.

Although I'm inclined to think its a no-no Confused

Thankfully my old jalopy is covered for throwing the kids in the back, no laws covering sideways facing seats Very Happy

Never had trouble with unrestrained kids in the front anyway...

Hi wrinx
I don't know how tall/old your kids are but section D on the page Rick found says
Quote:
A child who is required to use child seats/boosters (ie all those under 135 cms in height who are also under 12 years of age) cannot travel in a sideways-facing seat. A child who needs to use a child seats or boosters must use a forward or rearward facing seat only
