Thread: Baby Seat in 2012 Puma

i have, i had one fitted to the centre seat when the cargo barrier went in. seems fine, especially since the seat belt is built into the seat now, the seat must be designed to take those loads. 2007 puma.

How are these issues resolved in a new "90"?
Cheers, Pickles.

Portafilter who fitted the anchor point? And could I ask what it cost?

pretty sure it was these guys V Group Holdings sorry i cant remember how much, i also brought a cargo barrier off them as well.

Hi apple_bob

130s are a bit different. In NSW they have a rule that the mount must be accessible without moving the seat so the fastening hook can be undone. This rules out the back of the seats and almost everything else as they can not be reached other than by undoing the seat hold back bolts etc.

I mounted a large aluminium bar across behind the seats and had viewed by an engineer who said strong enough but could not be certified due to above. Has been there for 7 years.

My problem now is kids growing up and want a lap / sash belt for the centre seat. May have to get the engineers involved this time.

Did anyone find a place in Melbourne/Victoria that could do the install of the anchor points on the seats?

When we where looking at what to do with our anchor points I was informed the seat frame was not suitable for use with floor mounts in Victoria.
I was told it is to do with downward forces on the internal frame in an incident.


As we have 5 seats and rear draw I went for a CRAB bar and a barrier was built to suit both.
It may not suit all but it works for us.
This anchor point is more critical for the younger folk who are harnessed into their seat, the child seat is then tethered to this point to remove forward movement.
We used Vehicle Conversions - Wheelchair, Seating, Cargo Barriers, Child Safety Seats.

Also I don't get the need for certified child anchor points when the seat belt is used on most child seats and will more than capably hold the child and the seat in place.

There is a now a company in Melbourne who will install and provide the modification plate. They have kits ready to install. Anchor point installed in 3 seats is approx. $900 including modification plate.
