install anchor point in car Page 2

Fitting a child-seat anchor point isn’t a DIY glory project; in Australia it must comply with the relevant Australian Design Rules and be properly mounted to approved points. Most modern cars already have factory top-tether anchors behind the rear seats or on the parcel shelf—check the owner’s manual and look for the little anchor icon. If your car doesn’t have one, use a manufacturer-approved kit and get an accredited child restraint fitter to install it—no drilling heroic mystery holes in thin steel. Also remember: ISOFIX seats here still require the top tether, so no skipping steps because you’re feeling lucky. After installation, ensure the tether strap is untwisted and the seat is snug with minimal movement at the belt path. When in doubt, book a check with your state motoring club or local council fitter and keep the precious cargo properly secured.
