Does anyone know if EP3 imports come with mounting points for a car seat (aka rear strap that usually mounts in the boot of a hatch)? I'm looking at possibly picking an EP3 up and if anyone has fitted car-seats in one I'd love to hear your experience with fitting it.

Cheers

i have fitted booster but not car seat.

there is a hook thing at the base of the rear seat. you might need to lift the carpet in the boot to see. just clip the rear strap there as there is otherwise no where to mount the bolt.

afaik EP3 has ISOFIX points but Australia is "so advance" that we have our own rules which are different to the rest of the world.......

seconded, took a look a while ago and as phillip said, no where to mount the bolt that complies with the "advanced" australian child seat mounting structure.

yeah but i guess with the hook thing at the base of the seat, you don't really need to mount the bolt.

Mine had anchors down at the base near the strut brace. As mine is probably one of the properly complied ones going around, I can see it going anywhere else other than a mock up!
