Mate, i think you will find ,if it has anything to attach a baby seat to, it will be a clip style of the back wall of the cab.
Now the single cab Rodeo was probably used more as a work ute rather than a family wagon, so it would not surprise me if there is nothing there !!
Hope this helps

your local holden dealer will supply fit and certify a restraint but they are intrusive

If it has a passenger air bag then no go, cant fit baby seats EVER.

Many 4x4 utes wont have a bolt there as they wernt designed to carry babies. Holden utes (VE) has a sticker next to the bolt stating not to fit child seats in there (cept the bolt is actually there)

I fitted up both seat belts and a baby seat mount to my 1990 Spacecab when i had it [now have a 2000 twin cab], nothing was certificated as i did the work myself but i just made sure that the job was done properly.
As to the baby seat, i basically drilled thru the cabin wall to the rear and mounted a child seat bolt with a big fat arsed washer to spread the load, i did have to remove the tub to give access to the rear of the bolt to mount it though.

It will probably actually say not to fit a rearward facing child restraint as the airbag pitches the seat & child rearward as it deploys. Not sure I would like one of my girls there either while they are sitting in their booster seat.
