    Weird Question: But where can I get...

    Hi all, Im 38 weeks pregnant and decided to put the baby capsule in the car today, but ive realised my car only has one achor point along the back of the back seat and I already have my toddlers car seat on it. Where do I go to get another one installed? can I get hubby to do it or do I need to go to an automotive place. I might sound like a bit of a dill, but Ive never had to get one installed and have no idea where to go lol
    thanks

    You can buy them at Baby bunting (or similar) and either do it yourself or get someone to install it for you, depending on your car and technical expertise

    hmm odd there is only 1! you sure there isn't others but they are pluged or something?
    I do remember seeing on the net how to do it, but that sort of thing you would want done properly...umm... Im really not sure, I would think the RTA would know? or maybe the NRMA can? really dont know!

    Theres a plastic plug there, but i dont think theres anything under it (no actual metal bracket that you clip the seat onto).
    What is baby bunting? Is it a shop? Im from country nsw, so not sure if thats a shop or what lol

    you can buy the brackets easy! infact i think our car seat actually came with a bracket. and i think we have a spare. its the hole that is the hard bit. so you should be right.

    ahok. This car seat didnt come with one as its the carseat we had from when we had our first bub. If I was to try buy one online or on ebay or something, whats the actual name of it?

    You can get them in the auto section at Kmart - if you're not confident most mechanics would be able to fit them cheaply

    It should be called a car seat anchor bolt or similar name. There are lots of manufacturers, for example Safe n Sound makes them and you could get one online somewhere like mothercare, my baby warehouse, baby kingdom
