164 child seats

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

I share the scepticism about there being room for three child seats in the 
rear of a 164, or any European car for that matter. Two and a booster seat 
would probably work. I have visions of triplets being the problem. As long 
as the kids are different ages you should be able to get some combination 
of seats to work. My older two are 18 months apart and the third is four 
years younger than the middle kid and we all fit in the back of various 
SAABs etc. Never had the car seat in the Alfa as the little one was in a 
booster seat by 1991.

As for tether mount points all Canadian model cars had to have these 
installed by law. As far as I know the threaded mounting points for at 
least two are in the rear parcel shelf, and one bolt set came with each 
car. I haven't checked recently for three mounts, but logic would indicate 
there would be three. I also doubt that Alfa would make a Canada specific 
model where bodywork modifications are concerned. We got km instruments and 
a relay to bypass the headlight off switch for DRLs, but otherwise US cars 
should be identical to Canadian cars.
