Safety equipment should be regarded as the most important thing on the car that MUST be done right. I only have 1 life and I wouldn't risk it. :wink: If you don't mount the harnesses correctly, you can cause more injury to yourself then just using regular seat belts.

Using this same mounting location to restrain a driver for protection from impact is an entirely different matter. But if autocross drivers are looking for ways to keep their butt and upper body firmly planted in the seat during autocross maneuvers, then the baby seat anchors have good possibility.
I'm not an engineer, or a safety belt authority... this is merely conjecture.
