Try larger baby stuff shops, Plunket, AA etc.
Try any professional seatbelt fitting shop.

Seems odd that it wouldn't have them. My lux has 2 mounts behind the back seat that are welded to the shell of the cab.

Its not a requirement in the ADR's for NA category vehicles. Manufacturers can fit them if they wish.


Call QLD transport or RACQ, they should have a list of approved fitters for child restraint anchorages. If not as said before check with the baby shops they should be able to help.

There is a fitment requirement in the ADR's but it also requires a test which can destroy the panal which the CRA is bolted to.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

baby bolts

Utes are a commercial vehicle... therefor not a requirement, toyota put em in the 'lux... but i found them painful to access in the "capsule" stage due to the solid headrest design.

To fit them requires plating as they are a seat belt restraint point... Bris vans did an offset one for Julie's lux when we found the stock units weren't working... and they got an engineer that does the plates for em to...

They're in the phone book, moss st slacks creek.

My VS ute had one factory fitted for the only passenger seat, reckon they should have fitted 2 just in case. . . . . . .

I have a 97 Rodeo and it also doesn't have a baby capsule point. However mine is ex family services and it had a baby capsule point put in it. It is a steel bar that is screwed in above and below the rear window. So it spans the window.

The later model Rodeos had a fold forward rear seat and I think a baby capsule point on the floor behind the seat. I guess it was post 99 though.

I'll post a pic if you want.
