Our first new car in the 90s had fixed ones of these. No motorized track, so I guess that's good from the safety/strength point of view. Basically you'd have to get in while avoiding the stretched belt and then shut the door. Maybe it was a first attempt and the track ones were to fix how cumbersome it was. The good news, we could detach it from the mount at the top, and that's exactly how we'd do it - get in the car, then buckle the top first, then the lap belt in a two step motion.

That was just an even cheaper option, not a first step.

It was an entry level car, so yeah. At least the cheaper version was actually bolted down to the door frame.
