Thread: RR Classic Child Restraints

My 10/87 build had aftermarket ones fitted.

One in the floor behind the rear seat for the centre position and one in each rear wheelarch for the side positions.

I have removed the wheelarch ones as the tyres fouled on the bolts. The floor mounted one is still there and has been used.

Hey
My 85 model has one in the center in the roof not sure if its aftermarket or not but it may be worth while dropping the rear edge of the head lining and having a look.

I have a 92, in the roof lining directly above the tailgate (below the speakers) there is a round plastic plug on either side, inline with the centre of each of the back seats. When you remove these plugs there is a threaded hole there that a child restraint anchor bolt will screw directly into.
I hope this makes sense.

I've got a 1990 rangie (not the vogue though) and it doesn't have any standard child restraint points under the carpet, I can't comment about above the roof lining as I haven't had it out.

I do however have an aftermarket one which fits between the rear wheel arches although its not fitted as a) I don't have kids and b) it wouldn't fit with the draws which have just been installed.

Where are you located?

I'm in Maryborough, QLD.


Thanks for your suggestions guys. I'll pull down the corner of the roof lining and have a look. I'll let you know how I go.

I think it was only the last couple of years in the classic Range Rover that they had the threaded holes in the roof for a child restraint. Ritter in Melbourne have a kit that they install in the roof for models that done have the threaded holes as standard.

Correct.
You can actually buy the genuine brackets from LR but when you see how flimsy they are, you won't want to fit them.
I copied the basic design but used 5 mm plate instead & reinforced the roof section too. Mine ain't budging.

Hey mate, could you post up some pics of the mounts that you have used?

I've just had a good look at it. I was gonna try some different ways of hooking it in but nothing I felt comfortable with. I will need to install something aftermarket.
