I have a Suzuki Wagon R+ from '98 and there are only 2 seat belts on the rear but space enough to accommodate at least 3 (skinny) people.

Can you recommend me any good practice advice on fitting an extra middle belt? What parts would I need to look for?

Seat belts are anchored to the frame (not sure if you knew that), so in theory if you could find a lap belt that would be enough size, you would just need to drill two holes in the frame large enough for the seat belt bolts, spaced a decent width apart, and torque the bolts down to the spec of the other seat belt bolts in the rear. Not sure if you could route the belt between the seat cushions or what (I don't have a Suzuki Wagon), you may have to get creative.

This is all a hack of course since the lap belt didn't come by default, but I love hacking cars :-)

Its not the local laws but the federal laws you have to be concerned about.1) if in an accident you, not the insurance company, can and will be held liable for any and all damage to property and persons, 2)you wont be able to get insurance for it because you made modifications that have not been properly tested, 3) you wont be able to sell the car for the same reasons and you wont be able to get it inspected in quite a few states.
