Car Seat for Nissan Navara 09 STR

[Salad]

Hi, DH's work is getting him a new work ute so we can use it as a family and take Georgia with us so we need to get a second car seat - I was just wondering if anyone has a new navara and what car seat fits in it.

Is she still in the recline possie?? sorry I have no idea when you turn them around. I would try the Safe n Sound Compaq (Delux or normal) Sorry I am not much help for a bigger baby seat.
If you can get to a baby shop like baby co or baby bunting you can try the seats in your vehicle so you can see what fits best.

Thanks Nae, yeah she is still facing backwards and I want to keep her that way for a while yet they say it is the safest position.

I agree with Nae, the SnS Compaq is a great car seat. We didn't have to worry about size but if we did, it would have won hands down.

I think you would be better off going to a babyshop and ask them what will fit and get them to show you, then tell them you will think about it (in otherwords look for it cheaper elsewhere!) because we have a navara and there is quite a deal of room in the back of them. I think as long as you don't go for a maxirider you should be right.

thanks heaps mitzy

No probs. Let me know what you end up with, it could save me some time also! Providing you are not over 6' tall (we are shorties!) you should be ok.

no worries will let you know - my husband is around 6 foot but I am only about 5 4

Do the new navaras have bolt points at all?
My dad just got rid of his 5yo one and it didn't have them. It had to have a special bar installed across the top of the rear seats and attached to the side pillars to make it legal.
Something to look into!

Thanks Raven, dh and I looked up on the net and it says it has 3 anchor points - but I might just have to double check that.

Hi Salad,
I'm pretty sure the new navara's do have the anchor points from 2007 onwards, we had a 2006 and had to get a bolt fitted.
We had a mother's choice sahara (I think that's what they're called!) in there and it was fine, we've now got a Ford Ranger dual cab which has less room in the back than the new navaras and that fits in there just fine too.
I'm pretty sure you'd be ok with almost any seat

[Salad]

thanks heaps gracious

We have a 2006 navara and we checked ours shortly after I 1st saw this post and no anchor point! How could Nissan get away with this!!!! We took it to RAC and got a point put in for $110 so no dramas.

Could you maybe go to a Nissan dealership and take some measurements? Just tell them that you're looking at getting one but you want to make sure the baby seat fits or something...?
