Answer 1

no you dont need any windows in the back where you are putting the seats although you will need to get logbook changed with the passenger capacity or will fail its mot also you will need a new mot done if modifying a vehicle this way but easiest way is buying a minibus and taking seats out and blacking out windows at rear this way you know the seats and restraints are properly fitted

Answer 2

I see this all too often, and I do the same thing. When I call 911, it seems like they do not care. They tell me it is not an emergency, and to contact the local police dept. But, as soon as that car crashes and all those children are hurt, or worse, killed, suddenly "something has got to change!" I say, why does something bad have to happen to get people to pay attention. And the worst part is, 9 times out of 10, the parents HAVE seat belts on!!! There are so many programs out there to get cheap or even free car seats, it is beyond me that people would risk the life of their child to save a few dollars, or a few mins of time to get the free 1. They even give them away at the hospital if you do not have one to take the baby home in. Wise up people, I don't care how good of a driver you think you are, there are millions of others on the road with you. It only takes 1 second to crash and potentially kill your child.
