Thread: Child booster seat in a Defender anchor points needed?

Booster seats dont need an achor point unless you are using a H harness.

I took one of my mates and his 2 kids camping in our Defender, the booster seats he used didn't require any special anchor points.

While on the subject of anchor points, for those interested - I've now got a little rugrat of my own and have been looking at getting a CRAB bar. Not alot of places in Brissie to choose from - Autoextra's at Herston ($575) and Vanquip at Mansfield ($850 ) are a couple mentioned in other threads on the board. Ended up ringing RACQ and they gave me some numbers of authorised fitters, and I've found a mob at Slacks Creek called Mosleys that think they can do it for $260, but want to look at the car first. So I'm taking it out Saturday for them to have a look. If I can get it for $260 I'll be VERY happy.

Please let us know how you go with Moseley's as there are many people interested in an affordable and legal solution to that

It depends on the type of booster seat.

The foam ones don't.

Some blow moulded plastic ones do, and as above, if you use a harness you do.

One of the advantages of the ones that do need an anchor point is that they tend to have anti-submarine straps to stop the kids from shooting out under the seat belt and bouncing about the cabin.

Will do.

I had some child anchor points installed in my 08 defender last october. I now have one anchor at the back of each seat. It cost about $380 with compliance plate as well. Very good job. looks like factory fit.

Would you mind sharing some photos and the name of where you had this done. Thanks

Havn't worked out how to upload photoes but the company that did the child restraints in in townsville. If you give david moore a call at tony irland landrover he will know there name and contact details.
