I had an unsuccessful search, so please excuse me if this has been discussed before.
I need to fit a baby seat. I am unsure about how. I have heard that there is possibly an anchorage bar which I need to fit first.
My LWB GQ has the two - split middle row seats which fold fwd individually, and the third row dickie seat which flips over fwd also.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction for getting the car looked at by an "Authorised Child Restraint Fitter" or just tell me if they know whether I need this anchor bar or whatever.
mines a 95 mod and there are bolt holes in the floor 3 for the middle seat and 2 for the dicky seat there are pre cut spot in the vinal flooring about 50 x 30 mm in size.

ditto...and mines a 94 ST. You should not need anything more than a bolt and hook which can be bought abywhere, and depending on the seat, an extension strap.
Most vehicles that late already have the bolt location in there. Just an addition to previous post you also need the washer to spread the load. DO NOT just "bolt" it through the floor pan.
Your state motoring authority will tell you who to see locally. Otherwise Ford did a big push a few years ago to train their mechanics to fit them and set up a lot of "authorised" centres for fitting child anchorage points, could be worth contacting your local dealer.
pre 91 model do not have ancorage points fitted i have one my self and are a restraint fitter you will have to fit a crab bar child restraint ancorage bar.
I've got a crab bar for one of these vehicles. $50 plus postage. I'm in South East Qld and should be able to get it delivered anywhere along the Eastern seaboard for around $30 or so.
No matter what you end up fitting the work will need to be engineered at some low level, they will fit a plate under the bonnet to prove it. Of coarse you will need to pay every step of the way.
