Seat belt restraints

Yep agree with you Wayne.
A child restraint fitting station is your only choice.

palmy,

It is not that simple.

Most vehicles have child restraint anchor points, usually in the rear parcel shelf. They are a captive nut. Some vehicles have them in the back of the seat.

If you wish to fit the anchor point your self first you will have to find the anchor nut. This is usually under a plastic cover. Remove the cover and screw in the bolt. Adjust all the straps, you may have to get extension straps, and fit the child seat with the vehicles seat belt.

Doing this you have fitted the anchor point but have not obtained a certificate that it was done by a trained child restraint fitter and you insurance could be null in-void plus you vehicle could be deemed unroadworthy.

More important you could be putting your child at risk.

Fitting a child restraint to some 4wd wagons require a child restraint anchor bar (CRAB). This has to be supplied and fitted by child restraint fitter. Same as some dual cab Utes. A bracket has to be installed to make the child seat anchor point safe.

For the peace of mind that it is fitted properly and that your child is in a secure baby seat, have it fitted by an expert.

Wayne,

I get that, I have a child and have been through all this... I'm well aware of what we're dealing with. It's that nut/bolt/washer combo that even the instructions on the seat say is for adding a new restraint point...!
