Default Anchor points

Hi we are looking at buying an AU Wagon in the next couple of weeks, just wondering as we have THREE kids in car seats where the anchor points for the car seats are located in a wagon and how many are they they.
Thanks. :Reverend:

Ours is slightly earlier model but it has to be the same.
One point on floor behind rear seat; one on each side.
There's enough there for kids seats; it's been law that mounting points are there for ages now.

Look for plastic screw out plugs on pillars and on floor behind seat.

cheers

Yep, what northey said!

Wagons are great family cars!

Wagon is not much different for size to the sedan... now that I think about it though, you could put two more seats in the back.... I currently have 1 baby seat in the back, but as the family grows, I would be looking at upgrading to a territory... maybe a turbo tezza... gl...


P.s. If you have too many kids, just pick which one goes in the seat, and which one is the anchor.... lol.

The two outboard seats also have anchor mounting points in the floor of the wagon behind the seat (covered by plastic lugs as previously mentioned). The middle seat has the anchor point built into the seatback on the wagons (at least in our AU2, it does).

AU 1 wagons have them all on the floor! I say "all" of course, but I know mine does, assuming the rest do as well!
