This can be done on all the seat belts except for the driver seatbelt. Here is the description in the manual (webbing means seatbelt by the way):
I am pretty sure we don't have that here, we actually by law have seperate mounting points in the BMW's (for that matter all cars here have them) for child restaint belts to clip into to hold the child seat on the back seats.

Believe it or not but when you buy a Merc convertible here they give you a free special child (baby) seat with belts to clip in there brackets. Rather than supply the correct standard brackets for Australia they must have thought it cheaper to supply the baby seats to suite the brakets from Europe who use the same system.
