Baby capsul

Check with your road traffic authority and/or automobile club. The regulations vary, slightly, across the country and there are specific requirements for single cab utes mentioned. The key issue is having the ADR mounting points to start with and most of the single cab utes do not. But my understanding of the regulation is that they can be installed by an approved fitter

Here is the link for NSW:
Child car seats

It does mention specific regs for children in the front seat of vehicles with two or more rows of seats.
Also, note that the baby capsule must be rear-facing.

Our OKA has an approved child sear (Cat. 4??) on the engine hatch between the 2 front seats in the cab.
It was initially built and approved in Qld and was subsequently approved by another engineer in SA.
It is included on a blue mod. plate, along with other engineering changes.

From what I can gather, the 76 series wagon is the only 70 series to come with child restraint mount points which are in the roof behind the rear seats. The 79 series ute would have to be modified and plated to take an infant capsule. It is ok to have a capsule in the front of a ute so long as they can't be impacted by an airbag, and the capsule is mounted correctly off an isofix point.
It looks like the 75 series ute actually had them but I can't look at one to confirm. Anybody with a 75 know that they have female threads in the rear cab wall?

I didn't use my troopy for ages with my 1st child until someone told me you can put a baby seat in utes etc, if there is no back seat, so I put it in the troopy and we did a few camping trips until the 2nd child came along.
