- SidecarFlipExplorer IIIBuy what you want and install the seat belts yourself. You can buy belts and harnesses online.
- OzlanderExplorerFor side facing seats, you need shoulder belts to keep you upright.
- Have you seen considered a Class B? Winnebago Travato, various Roadtrek and Hymer models, etc. Some of these have a 3-point seat belts on the second row of seats. Some even have captain's chairs or a rear couch with seat belts.
- bobndotExplorer IIIf you alter or install seatbelts yourself make sure you anchor them to the vehicles frame.

We're looking for a small (under 25 ft) so-called B+
Preferably not a corner bed. Any suggestions? Thanks!
That's going to be a tough one, typically the replacement for the corner bed in a small unit is the cab-over queen, but a B+ doesn't have a cab-over bed.
In some of the Euro models (MB Sprinter or Ford Transit) there is a drop-down bed. In those cases though you might have another issue, unless you have the rear sofa that drops down into a bed, you really only have sleeping for 2 people. - wildtoadExplorer IITake a look at the Winnebago Fuse 23T. Should be able to add a second set of belts on the dinette. Not sure if it would handle four adults but should work for two kids.

Well, but...
On our 2007 Itasca Navion, the rear bench for the dining table is on top of the heater, which takes up pretty much all of the space under that bench. It would be hard to impossible to install seatbelts on that bench. The front bench (facing backwards) has storage underneath, and two seatbelts.
Also, I'm not sure (haven't had occasion to look) that I could get to the underside of the floor to install seatbelts properly, even where I otherwise could.
So, if you find an RV that otherwise satisfies your needs, make sure that you can, in fact, install seatbelts everywhere you want them. - garmpExplorer IIOur Phoenix Cruiser 2100, 22' long, had seat belts at the dinette, one on each side (no shoulder harnesses) and then the two in front.
- claywayExplorerI still have a Bornfree rear door with the side couch, it is a 2009 model, at the time I had younger kids, I went to a shop that provides race car gear & worked with them on making a 3 point harness that worked on our couch
Just an idea that worked for us - F1bNormExplorerOur ‘06 Winn Aspect 23b, a B+, has 6 lap belts in addition to the driver and passenger cab seats. 2 facing forward and 2 facing rear at the dinette and 2 on the side couch. Does not have anchor clips for current child seats. See: http://library.rvusa.com/brochure/06Aspectbro.pdf
