hankosolder2 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I guess the subject heading says it all. I'm wondering if a 2000 forester has three point belts for the center back seat. I did some half-hearted internet searches and came up dry... Thanks in advance. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Cant find the info on it either. Going to need to find an actual vehicle or seller of one to verify this I think. My gut says 2 3 point and 1 lap rear. I dont think the center 3 point starts till around 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankosolder2 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the info. I checked an '02 Legacy GT a while back and I'm pretty sure that had 3pts in the center rear position. It's important info for people with one child (i.e. the center rear is the safest position for a booster seat, but they don't work well with just a lap belt.) You gave me an idea when you mentioned finding a seller of a 2000 Forester. I'll do a google image search for a 2000 Forester back seat and see if I can find anything.

nipper Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thats odd, i would think they do, all the other soobys have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 looks like 2001 was when the foresters all got 3 three-point rear seat belts. here's a guy with a 2000 that has a rear center lap belt: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f77/2000-forester-seat-belts-middle-rear-seat-81384/ is it really that date specific? i've always wondered about changes like this...do they really happen on January 1st so to speak? and on every single model....L and S models the same day?
