Afternoon all,

Currently have two boys (both under 5) and associated child seats nicely secured in my 2005 GU Patrol using the two factory fitted anchor points. We now have number 3 on the way and my attention has now turned to trying to fit a third anchor point. However to my dismay the third and final anchor point in the Patrol is located where one of the third row of seats use to exist, now replaced by a draw system. To date the only solution I have been given is to install a crab bar, but will require the removal of my draw system and then some major modifications to the _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx to get them back in. (I know this is a small sacrifice to make when we are talking about kids lives.)

As one of the boys is coming to the age where he will move into a booster seat no longer requiring the use of an anchor point, I have also enquired as to whether the lap sash seat belt located in the middle of the rear seats, unsuitable as it currently is for use with a booster seat, can be replaced with another retractable over the should/lap seat belt as currrently exists for the driver/passenger...but this can't be done either.

How do others with three kids cope with this type of vehicle and fitting three child restraints? When the kids are old enough, do people actually use the lap/sash seat belt in the middle rear of the vehicle, or is just a matter of pulling out the _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx and cargo barrier and reinstall the back row of seats and invest in a camper to cart all the gear.

Thanks in advance.
