Does any one know whether there is previsions for baby seat restraints in a mk wagon ? i am getting a new member to my family on monday and need to know. i have another car but on the chance that the old girl goes out, i need to know whether the young bloke can go in the 4b. cheers

theres not any factory points, spossed to have to use a proper mounting thing that costs a few $$.

I drilled my own hole but rio'd it with a large chunk of 6mm plate to resisit tearing through the body on impact, but still used the proper bolt,etc. its syas in the instructions that you can drill a hole but apparetnly its still illegal

goodluck

I know it hurts financially but you are best to go to an authorized restraint fitter to get this done. Might save a lot of grief in the long run.
Better safe than sorry

Get it done by an authorised restraint fitter, it's just not worth the risk.

I'm sure my shorty had them but that was 6 years ago, bit hard to remember.

Did'nt think there were any restraint points it's just like my old 720 Pain in the arse. I just looped a heap of thick wire around the back seat and through the bolt hole (dodgy i know but i fighured that it would be safe enough and never drove very far in it.. Sucks though i know 60 series have restraints in them right at the back but there still there and that's the same sort of year model Nissan must not have been family orintated

I remember now, I used the the bolt for the seat belts.

MK wagons need a 'crab bar'. They're a universal (usually beige) adjustable length tube that bolts behind the seats.
If you can find one from any car at a wreckers, you can fit it up then go and have it checked by an authorized restraint fitter. I don't think they're too expensive to buy new either.
I don't think the requirement is to have it installed by them, just checked - and there's no certificate issued or anything, it's just a visual inspection.
I had mine inspected when I put my first baby seat in (got 3 in there now) and it was a free, 5 minute check.
There's 2 places to mount one in a Mk wagon, the bottom of the C pillar behind the 2nd row of seats, or the D pillar behind the 3rd row.

The actual anchor points are provided by clamps around the crab bar, so can be positioned anywhere along the bar.

cheers for that festy how does it bolt in, do you drill holes and bolts through or is there a place to bolt it to already. Not real important as i have another car now and the new bub as of yesterday can go in that

Drill a hole, bolt U bracket to the bottom of the pillar with supplied backing plate, then bolt crab bar to u bracket.

cheers i'll see what i can find

well i have not found a crab bar as yet but i really have not looked that hard as i have been trying to fix the damage i incurred up the bush a last week. But i will try a bit harder this week Cheers all for your help it is much appreciated

There was one in the trading post last week for $50, can't remember where it was though.
