I used rolled metal strips (it comes in a role pre-punched with holes got it at the hardware store) and self-drilling wood screws with hex nut heads (allows you to use a socket rather than a screw driver bit). I made sure the screws would not be too long as to impede the slide out platform operation but long enough to go through the platform (say 1-1.25 "). I cut the metal strips so that they would wrap around the bottom of the chair frame bar and drove a screw through the strap into the floor platform. I put one strap on the front, back, and each side bars (total of 4). You're probably wondering how I could get into such a confined space to drive in the screw's. That's where the flexible drill attachment came in (

The chair's aren't going anywhere without the platform coming off. I figured the seatbelts will hold any passengers in place while driving.
I've seen where some folk's have actually used the seatbelts wrapped around the chair frames underneath to secure the chairs. Since I wanted to continue using the seatbelts for passengers, I didn't choose this approach.
Hope this helps.
