      Add Child Seat anchor points

      Anyone ever add child seat anchor points to their rear seat floors or back plates? If so what size bar to use? 1/4"??? Any ideas or thoughts on this?

      I used a 2000 Honda Civic (wifes daily driver) "hooks" and cover. They were good enough for a Honda. Mounted them to the package tray, with a big washer. Used that for the top strap of the car seat. Then, once they are big enough for booster seat, or just the back seat I purchased a harness from a bus to tie to the mount so they are 4 pointed in.

      Interesting topic. I have been thinking of doing the same (adding tether points). Thanks mdprovee for the good info here!

      MDProvee, that's a pretty cool harness. What I'm more referring to here is that I've got a 4 week old & need to install mounting points for a child seat base. I know I can use a seat belt to secure the base, but the mounting points add more safety & adds a "Cool" factor to the car as it's modern update & kid friendly

      This is kinda the idea I have/had... only a little more clean & maybe welding the points in place rather than drilling & bolting in....http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-...stem-retrofit/

      I'm gonna take a look at my wife's 2003 Acura MDX to see how that looks & size of the connectors, then see if I can't find something similar to weld in place.

      I did this in my 67. Here's the thread on team chevelle.

      I got beat up pretty good because it isn't OEM but jeez when I was a kid I remember laying on the package tray while we drove. OEM? Not back then. I did this over in stainless for both sides since this thread.

      Wow, I like how you did yours much better then I did mine. I have to pull my back seat to latch and un-latch the straps.

      Well, I think the issue came with how you welded the rod to plate - its just not right. Regardless - whats wrong with using the lap belt to secure the seat? The lap belt goes through the same portion of the seat as the Latch system does. I think the safest thing to do would be to attach a similarly fashioned latch attachment point upper middle for the center Latch point to keep the top of the seat from rolling forward when in an accident.
