The six-seat GEM is the people mover of the low-speed vehicle world. It is the one you see shuttling hotel guests to the beach, carrying wedding parties across a venue, or moving tour groups around a campus. The third row gets plenty of use in those settings, and it is often the last place anyone checks when it comes to seat belts. The Seatbelt Planet 2008-2009 GEM Car (6 Seater) 3rd Row Driver or Passenger Seat Belt replaces one of the outboard belts in that back row.
Product Details
The listing describes a 3-point retractable lap and shoulder seat belt kit with an end release buckle, for the rear driver-side or passenger-side seating position in the third row. Hardware is included.

The Third Row Problem
In a six-seater GEM used for shuttling, riders climb into the third row quickly and often do not buckle at all, especially if the belt is tangled, dirty, or hard to find. A fresh, retracting belt that is easy to grab encourages riders to use it. That makes a real difference when you are responsible for guests or staff. It also reflects well on your operation when visitors see clean, working belts in every seat, not just the front row.
Third row belts also tend to suffer from:
- Sun and rain exposure on open-sided vehicles
- Sand, dirt, and spilled drinks
- Damage from luggage, equipment, or folding seats
- Belts hanging outside the vehicle when not retracted
Why 3-Point Belts?
A 3-point lap and shoulder belt restrains the upper body as well as the hips. For a passenger sitting in the back row, that added support is a plus, especially when the vehicle stops quickly or turns sharply.
Webbing Colors
There are 52 webbing colors to pick from, and the specialty group (M-Stripe, the edge colors, Miami Blue, Acid Green, Bone, White and a few others) carries an upcharge listed in the picker. For fleets, choosing one consistent color across all vehicles looks tidy and professional. Bright edges can also make belts easier for riders to see and grab.
