    In my car the ancor points have fluro orange tags on them....well at least they did until i took it off to put a seat in for my cousins boy,... but they really stood out.
    like muminalice the manual should say.
    And I would except all cars would have them, wouldn't it be a safety thing that it has to.

    ps my car is a 1991 model..so you would think anything after that would deff have it too

    Look in the carpet at the back of the car for a little 'flap' in the carpet about an inch across, and if you lift it there's a hole about 1/2 cm across under it. The anchor points are just threaded holes that you can attach the rest of the car seat bolt and hook anchor system to - if you're looking for these, you won't find them.

    You can buy the bolt and stuff for about $10 off ebay.

    Mine, in cars that never had one had a grey circle piece of plastic covering it. You just pull out the grey (or whatever colour the carpet is in your car usually) circle & there will be a hole there to screw in the anchor. Most car seats will come with an anchor.
    It could be on the floor behind the seat in a wagon, on the boot wall right at the back under the door in a hatch, or on the parcel shelf in a sedan

    have you looked in the manual? It would say in there where the anchor point is, it could just be hidden under a piece of carpet or something.
    Ask your local mechanics, a lot of them are qualified fitters (they may even have a sign out the front/on the building saying they fit car seats, I know there is a mechanic here that has a sign on his workshop).

    Or ask at your local baby shops, if they don't fit them they should know who does.

    Is it a hatchback? I have an Astra and our anchor point it just below where the boot lifts up? HTH
