Roller Drawers...and 3 baby seat attachments

Good point, didn't think about the barrier, I guess if you can tell them about the amount of anchor points, maybe you can about the barrier?

The barrier itself is only about four or fife squares taken out of the mesh, with a plastic surround to prevent rubbing. The actual beams that give it strength and structure are not touched. I have seen some that don't have any mesh at all in the middle sections, just a piece of clear removal perspect to allow for longer items.
There is probably no reason you could not cut out your own, except for the warrenty etc. as long as the positioning was correct.

ok, thanks for that SDG. Just want to make sure the little kiddies are all safe in their seats, don't want to do anything even slightly dodgy. Hopefully someone does the combo set up.

Thanks for your help.

Just been looking up info on the isofix system. Sounds like a really good idea. Simple and fool proof. The Swedish had outdone themselves with this system. Problem is, every site says they are illegal to use in Australia. Don't meet our standards.


Heres a good bit of info. Read this.

Admitadely it is about a year old but the statics are interesting.

Hi,

It's a seven seater so the mounts are in the rear, but like said above unfortunately, it would seem we can't use those isofix system. Bummer!

Thanks...

Hi Roachie,

Thanks mate, thats really helpful. I'll have a look at their website. How have you found the drawers? The outback ones look really good, but they are very expensive, don't get me wrong, dont' want to skimp on safety.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi,

Appreciate your message. Was just in contact with Black Widow who confirmed they do the 3rd attachment point. Am confused why they would do this if it isn't legal. Will follow up with Black Widow tomorrow.

Is CRA BAR on the net, will look it up now.

Cheers...

It's not the problem of having the centre anchor point, the problem is the split in the 60/40 seat.
There is a reason why there is no centre child restraint anchor standard on the GU, maybe give Nissan Australia a call and ask them why.

Even though there is no anchor point in the centre now, grab one of your baby seats and place it in the centre then If you sit in the back and hold the strap down near where the anchor point will be fixed you will find the left side of the anchor strap will slide down the split in the seat.
Maybe not straight away but it eventually works its way across and slides into the split making the restraint very loose.
In the case of an Impact this is a big problem!!

I have read somewhere on another forum that to screw a thick piece of Aluminium angle to the back of the seat & across the split can prevent this also.
Do not know about the legalities of this though but Im pretty sure It's quite affective.

Good luck mate, at the end of the day the little tikes rely on us to keep em safe Its worth looking into it a bit more and be comfortable which ever way you go..... they are to valuable!

Cheers

Chris

Check out my original thread 81439 when I was first faced with the problem, some good info to read up on.

I never realised the problem until the night before I had to pick up my 3rd new born from the hospital.
BTW I unfortunately had to sell the car for other reasons around this time so never actually did the fix.

Cheers

Hi Ingo57,

Thanks for the input. I'm going to drop into UV 4x4 today to have a look and I'll update my post about what they say. I think it's interesting that they may not have looked at the fact the belt can potentially slip down the split seat arrangement.

Cheers...
