Can I only hook baby seat in the middle rear?

[Drekko]

Hi
I only seem to have one anchor point in the middle of my pasture shelf. There fore I can only install my baby seat in the middle which makes it a bit hard to see from the driver's position when the seat is rear facing ( from the mirror that hangs on the rear seat facing my sons face)

Do I need to get addition anchor points or are they hidden under these ( pictures ) thought they were only for additional speakers

What is under the plastic button next to the existing anchor point.?

ill check but I dont see how as the hook is like double the size of the button

I think you will find that if you remove the button there will be a threaded hole to which a new anchor can be attached.

Cheap as, when considering the purpose they serve.
Best place for baby seat is in the middle anyway.

is it?
Any reason? I guess we can move the mirror to the middle in front of him and he can be seen from there

its a pain in the ass putting him in with my commdore, have to get down low, crouch in on the rear passenger seat pretty awkward

Welcome to the world of babies, and the associated PITA problems of baby seats.
The middle position is best place in case of side impact accidents. I didn't decide that, other more qualified people recommend it.

Not under the headrests like they are in Monaro?

Safest place is apparently right behind the driver. Only because it’s natural instinct to put the passenger side of the car towards the danger. You inadvertently try to keep yourself away from an incident so the passenger side tends to cop it. You also have better vision and perception of what’s happening on the drivers side of the vehicle.

Would rather load the child from the footpath rather than handle a baby/toddler near moving traffic.
