Child restraint for kombi & type 3
Andy - April 24th, 2006 at 08:04 AM

Hi all,
My partner and I are expecting our first child in the next couple of months and are in need of the fittings/bar etc to attached a baby capsule to in a late bay or late fasty.
I've also posted in "wanted" for the bits.

Any info from people who have fitted them regarding what is needed for approval, and where to get the required bits would be much appreciated. Also any ADR's or approval numbers the bits are required to comply to would be great.

Also any info on bad capsules or ones to avoid would be great too.

Cheers,
Richard :thumb

I have a CRAB (child restrain anchoarge bar) fitted to both a kombi and a square.

They are available at any restraint place. Easy to install but they can usually do it for 50 bucks or so and you will get your little piece of paper that says it complies Australia wide.

They are easy to remove, no evidence in a square but in the kombi you'll have two holes where the main bolt goes thru inside the engine event, just put the bolt back in without the bar.

Do a search you'll find pics on here of them somewhere.

Cheers Matt.
Did not find a lot of good info in old posts, but will keep trying.
Restraint places will be my next stop if I can't find parts from some one here.

I just brought a Microbus from QLD that has the child restrant bar installed. I've taken out the bar so I can't get you an pics but I'll get the name of the company that installed the bar from the sicker which is inside the bus and let you know. It's located somewhere in Brisbane.

We have two wonderful kids, the eldest is 4 youngest being 2. The moment I sell the bar or give it away she will get pregnant and I'll be looking for another bar.

Congrates about the baby, my kids love going out in the microbus. They can't get enough of it.
