harnesses

Im looking at harnesses for the car.

i remember someone saying on here a while ago that you really need 5/6 point harnesses in a 7 as you can easily slip under them.

im looking at some omp 4 point for about £50 each or these 6 points:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170190395261&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007

so three questions:
should i go 6 points over 4's
are trs a decent brand?
will turnbuckle harnesses pass sva?

if not im looking at omp 4 point turnbuckles + extra crotch straps @ about £160-180 for each.

Depends very much on the seat and you can't really tell until you have a crash whether you would not slide out. If you can fit one and be bothered with the hassle I'd fit a 6 point one if going racing etc, I find 4 point ones more than enough bother and imagine a 6 point would be quite uncomfortable on a long journey. Just buy a heap of Velcro and stick yourself to the seat

I understand that only normal push button buckles are allowed for the SVA

Sent you a u2u, about a spare set of harnesses I have.

Don't think 5 or 6 point harnesses exist with E-markings, so are by default not SVA friendly.

i think the sliding under the seatbelt thing was something to do with taking a 4 year old out in the car
