Anchor points / isofix bars installed in a pick up for a car seat...

[walnut300]

Hi.

I recently bought a mitsubishi triton plus double cab and would like to know if anybody in thailad as had anchor points or an isofix bar fitted for child car seats. I would be grateful to hear from anyone that may be able to help, as I would feel much happier to have these installed as well as using the seat belt to secure the seat.

Thank you.

You have two options.

Option one works if the non-Asia market Tritons come with anchors. If that's the case, Mitsubishi Thailand should be able to order them for you from abroad. You will need to be persistent and make sure they follow-up for you.

I tried going this route with our Chevy, and after 10 months they finally figured it out and were ready to order for me. This was after months of insisting that such a part did not exist Sadly, when they did work it out, the cost was exorbitant (almost three times what I paid for option 2 below).

Option two is to order a EZ-On floor/tether mount. Product information is available at the EZ-On site. But to order, you need to do that with one of their distributors. I used Midwest Bus Parts. It was a few years ago, but I remember the international shipping being around $45. If you go this route, the mounts should come with directions on where and how to install. Installation is easy, but you will probably need to go to a local mechanic to have them make the holes for you. I highly recommend telling them exactly where you want the hole and then watch them do it, to make sure it's done right. Also be sure that the installation site is properly sealed with silicone or something similar to prevent any exhaust and such from getting into the cab.

I'm also attaching information about locating where to install tether points in your vehicle.

One last suggestion, would be to post specifics over at the http://www.car-seat.org forum-- they have an international sub-forum and are very knowledgeable about this type of thing.
