Can you safely put a car seat in older volkswagen bus?

While it may be possible to install a car seat in an older Volkswagen bus, it is not generally considered safe to do so. Volkswagen busses were not designed with modern child safety standards in mind, and lack features such as integrated child seat anchors and three-point seatbelts. Additionally, older vehicles are more likely to be involved in accidents and may not be as structurally sound as newer cars, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a collision.

Some older Volkswagen buses may have seatbelts, but these are often lap belts, which are not designed to restrain a child in a car seat safely.

You should only attempt to install a car seat in an older Volkswagen bus if you have confirmed that the seat can be properly secured and that the vehicle has modern, three-point seatbelts for use with the car seat. You should also consult with a child passenger safety expert or the vehicle manufacturer to determine if the car seat is safe to use.
