Hello all,

Just hoping someone may be able to help me out here.

We currently have 2 little ones (2 1/2 yo and 4yo) and my wife is expecting twins next year (so we'll need 4 anchor points).

Here's the dilemma:

We have a 2003 7 seater Patrol and want to know if the centre of the middle seat can be fitted with an anchor point in any way. We've found that there is an anchor point in the rear left seat, but would like to keep the rear right side free for a fridge if at all possible.

If it makes any difference, we live in Queensland.

I've had a search of the archives but nothing has come up.

Thanks in advance

They haven't got a middle point as the seat is split fold and the belt could be pulled down between the seats under force.

Option 1 - You can get them put in the roof just inside the back door, left, right and central positions. I have recently put one on the passenger side roof as my storage drawers cover up the original points. Cost $95, installed and engineered.

Option 2 - You can get a CRA bar installed behind the middle row seats. It is basically a bar that bolts across the car and has 3 anchor points attached to it. I was quoted $350, installed and engineered.

This was in SA, I assume a child anchor point would be installed in a similar fashion for a similar cost in QLD.

Thanks to all you guys for the replies.

I rang nissan and they basically said look in the hand book! which we'd done anyway.

I will now follow up with Vanquip etc They might be able to install a suitable anchor point on the roof.

Hi,

We have a 60 series landcruiser and had 2 anchor points installed in QLD at KCF Rallysport at Redcliffe on Brisbane Northside - Ph 3284 1546
www.kcf-rallysport.com.au

I originally phoned RACQ as I didn't know where to start looking and they gave me there number. They sorted out the modification plate etc so we didn't have to do anything with Dept Transport. They are both mounted above the barn doors at the back so we can still out our fridge etc in the back.

Hope this helps you out.
