Seat Belts or Not? That is the question.
 

Thinking of adding retractable seats belts for our 2013 Yamaha.
They cost $185.00 installed.
Have you added belts or thinking about doing so?

we just added seat belts to our Yamaha last Saturday, after seeing an accident where the passenger and driver rolled out of the cart like M&M s we decided to get them !
So far we like them ! Retractable is the only way to go !

I am wanting to add retractable seatbelts to our 2013 Yamaha but am at a loss as to how retain the sunbrella enclosure while having a support bar placed behind the seats.
Please advise as to who you have found to make the installation - sign me up. Lark

Could each of you tell me what type of seat you have and who installed the retractable seat belts?

I have a 2009 Yamaha with a stock seat. I have had two golf cart shops tell me that they can't install retractable seat belts because of the way the seat lifts up.

We are having front and back retractable belts installed Thurs. We have a club car. Will let you know how it is. They are coming to the house.

I have non retractable seat belts installed in my 2014 Yamaha. About $30 each installed.

Having Todd Casey do mine. We have the Ultimate Luxury bench seat.

Were the belts retractable? If so, do you have a sunbrella enclosure? Was a bar placed behind the seats as a support for the belts? Thanks! Lark

I vaguely recall a letter to the editor this last summer with regard to a lady saying that the Village Golf Cart Man had finally solved the issue of retractable seat belts for her 2013 Yamaha. She said that he created a bar support wherein other dealers had said that they could not accomodate her wish for retractable seat belts. I think she said it cost her about $350 but was well worth it considering the cost of a possible ejection. Unfortunately, the article did not give her name.

I remember asking about seat belts when I purchased my golf cart in 2011. The salesman advised me against them. Since the, I know of a person in St. James who got creamed in her golf cart. I'm reluctant to drive my golf cart any distance. Some car drivers zip down St. Charles like maniacs and I've seen several near accidents. The retractable seat belts are enticing.

The POA newspaper reports golf cart accidents each month. Most of the injuries happen when people are thrown from the cart and head trauma tops the list of injuries. Roll overs are practically nonexistent.

I think I'll stick to my car for 90% of my traveling in TV.

No more head trauma for this tall blond gal! :)

I added retractable belts to my club car myself, it cost me less than $100. Pretty cheap insurance I think.

You should go into business!

I agree about cheap insurance. Maybe it's part mental as well? I can't imagine driving my car without putting the seat belt on. I feel so much safer.

Bought bar and one set of retractable seat belts on the internet for around $99. Installed them myself on a 2012 Yamaha. Drilled two holes, no problem. Wife wanted them on her 4 seater Club Car. Bought another bar for $129 that had holes for 4belts. Had to buy an additional 2 retractable belts. Drilled 2 holes, no problem.
