3 seat ute and baby anchor points.

Can anyone please tell me if Ford falcon 3 seat utes, have baby seat anchor points behind either the middle or passenger seat?

Thanks.

The Falcon ute only has one baby anchor point which is behind the passenger seat on the back body panel. See exert below from owners manual.

One child restraint anchorage point is located behind the passenger seat. To gain access to the anchorage point, it is necessary to remove the small plug from the anchorage to install the appropriate bolt, lock washer, anchor fitting and spacer (where required).

Does the car have a passenger airbag? That makes a big difference to whether you can or can't fit a child seat into the front row of a vehicle with only a single row of seats. Stupidly, that was the rule that allowed me to take my infant at the time son in my old van that had an anchor point installed for the seat anywhere in the least safe vehicle ever.

L300 Mitsubishi express van to clarify what the least safe vehicle in the universe is

You can legally fit a child seat to the seat if an air bag is fitted to the side as long as it is not rearward facing. See exert from ute owners manual below.

EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it.

Mine was a forward facing seat with a 2 year old at the time, so legal, but not recomended in something with no safety features, or atleast I don't recomend it

Also read elsewhere that you can have the passenger side airbag disabled by Ford if in fact you need to have a baby seat fitted in that seat.

Some child seat fitting stations can install a 3 mounting point and issue a certificate for it.
