Front Seat Belts

I was gven the following advice/warning when I had my car at the dealer today.

NEVER plug the FRONT seat belt into the REAR buckle. Apparently another owners child did this while sitting in the RX8. That's not to say that some adult wouldn't do it either.

Result :
The front seat belt cannot be released from the rear buckle - it is STUCK

Solution:
Cheapest option is to DESTROY the buckle to free the seat belt and replace with a new buckle.

I don't get why you would buckle the front seat belts to the rear seats????

Maybe it's because I don't have kids........

Interesting tidbit of info though.

Try sitting in the back sometime. The passanger sees the belt strap to the right and tries to use, it can happen.

The 8's got back seats?????
I never really noticed.

I don't think anyone's ever sat in the backseat of my 8.
Nice to have, but a waste of space for me personally.
