Safty issues
I have heard conflicts with non adjustable racing seats 4 point harnesses and roll cages, what exactly makes this conflict and what is the right combination for allowing my parents to sleep at night?

By "non adjustable" do you mean non-reclining? If so, there is no conflict. In fact, a roll bar or cage should be used with a fixed back racing seat and 5/6 point harness.
Didn't we just talk about this?

^^ true
The fact of the matter is these things are tin cans. Especially today with the oversized road-brontosaurus SUV's with stabilitrack and ABS, you're not in for a good time if you end up hitting something.
Next time you pull up behind a Chevy *****-Fear, or whatever they call their way too big truck with no cargo space, take a look at where their bumper comes up to on your hood of your EF. Halfway up the hood right? Now run into that going 55.
Rollcage and 6 point belts help, but safe driving and being 100% aware at all times is the winner. Some of the SUVs can stop as fast as small cars. And the people driving them certainly don't have the time to pay attention to something as unimportant as driving and not killing people. So pay attention, that'll save your life. The last thing we need is more lost EFs.
