This has been asked quite often, but I still didn't find a satifectory
answer. So what are the legal constrins to pack 5 people in a C-182?
I read one can do that with a fifth seatbelt. What if there are only four
seatbelts and installing a fith is not an option - can a baby sit on one's
lap legally? What's about insurance?

Thanks
Chris

As mentioned, ask your insurance company.
However, as a price point, I am a PP-ASEL, no instrument.
I have less than 100 hrs TT.
Full 1MM liability and $40K hull on my 6-seat (third row is actually a bench
with one belt, though) Beech Super Musketeer is $1100.
I thought that was pretty good considering my low time.

Have you investigated the child seat for C172/C182 that goes in the baggage
area?
