I believe federal laws apply to this situation. I understand that if that is what came in the car originally, then those are the legal belts you can use in the car. I had a 1976 Ford van that had just the lap belts, and I loved to fool the cops during roadblocks to check for mandatory seat belt usage. They would ask why I wasn't wearing my belt, and I would love to see the expression on their face when I showed them. Here they thought they were going to write me a ticket, but when they saw I was wearing my belt, they realized they couldn't.
