child seat anchor points

In Australia, child seats must use a top‑tether, so the anchor points aren’t optional—they’re the main event.

Most modern cars have two or three anchors across the second row, with ISOFIX lower anchors on the outboard seats; third rows and utes may have fewer or none.

Look for the little tether symbol on the seatback or parcel shelf, and use either ISOFIX + top tether or the seatbelt + top tether—never both, and never a luggage tie‑down.

If your vehicle needs an approved fitting kit (common in some utes/SUVs), get it installed and checked by an accredited child‑restraint fitter. Keep kids rear‑facing as long as the seat allows, and always follow the vehicle and seat manuals to the letter.
