Thread: Child Seat Definitive answer? D2 3rd row

Hi all,

hoping to make an offer on a MY2003 7 seater on thurs....but haven't yet confirmed if a child's seat can be legally used in the 3rd row occasional seats.

Does anyone know:
1) if the landrover seats are rated to take a child seat?
2) if anchor points can/have ever been engineered in?
3) if none of the above, has anyone ever had a whole new seat made?


I know it's been discussed before (did a search), but could find a definitive answer.

Cheers,
Rick

Just have to not have 4 under 4....we're about to have 3 under 2.5.

Looks like we'll buy the car.

Hi there,
congratulations on the pending addition :-). We will be having 4 under 4 with our newest in Jan11 and I face the same issue as yourself about additional anchor points - we will be having our eldest in a Hi-liner SG booster seat seated in the cargo area which still requires the anchor point.

There's a few options we are still deciding on:

1. Installing anchor points into the cargo floor area or,
2. Purchasing original middle row seat (double or single) which already has them and if not having one put in at the back of the seat.

Given that you have already (?) purchased a 7 seater... your best bet may be to have the anchor points installed into the cargo floor area behind the seats? You'd no doubt have read about keeping clear of wiring/fuel lines and the like if doing it yourself :-)

But.... legislation/insurance and how legal you want to drive in your state may dictate otherwise... ??

Goodluck, let me know what you decide with. Will be interested to know...

Not really a definitive answer as there are a few different scenarios :-)

Cheers,
