Re: golf cart seat belts (The question)
 
Seat belts in School buses are mandatory and must be kept clean and in perfect working order. The use of such belts by students is optional, however I see a lot of my liitle kids wearing them probably out of habit from Mom and Dad.
A number of times I have turned sharply in a golf cart (esp at tunnel entrances) and my butt has slipped sideways. In an effort to preserve my butt, I will begin using seat belts come April. If a roll over occurs ( which I seriosly think will never happen at 20MPH) I deserve to dangle upside down

They may be mandatory where you come from but they are not in most of the country.

Sorry, but I loved your idea so much I copied it (but with a parrot) :redface:

Had seatbelts installed when we were in TV a short while ago. They are retractable and placed directly behind the arm rest. For those of you who have never seen a set installed, here's a pic of mine...

Another question: I bought the reflector tape and mounted it to the side step of the cart. However, it looked tacky and ugly so we immediately removed it.

What other options are available for reflectors other than the tape? I'm looking for something easy and inexpensive to install.

Any suggestions?

We just converted our cart into a four-seater and put seat belts on all the seats. First thing friends of our asked was if they could use the cart when their 'little ones' are visiting; the belts would give them the confidence of strapping the kids into the back and riding with them securely. We've used the belts and don't find them inconvenient to put on or to ride in. Back to peace of mind!

:agree: Sidney

I felt so much better when my 3 year old grandson was belted in. I put a lot of stock into peace of mind.
