Atara - Fitting 2 child seats

[Altezza]

Good afternoon.

I need to fit 2 child seats to a new Camry Atara with fixed backseat headrests.

Has anyone had any experience with same?

Eg: Does the top strap go around or over the headrests?

Thanks, Colin.

depending on the brand of child seat the strap will go over or around. I have a Safe n Sound fitted in the middle seat and the strap on that one goes around the headrest. I had a another brand before that had a centre strap so it would have to go over.

let me know how you go, because I'll need to do that soon as well. I'm debating putting them both on the outside passenger seats, or one in the middle and one on the left.

some photos of how you eventually do it would be great. Thanks.

Thanks Albert.

One childs seat and one booster seat.

Should have it sorted next week and I will get some photos.

PS Just picked up our Atara SL yesterday.

Took delivery of our new Atara SL this week.

The car people helped out with the “fixed headrests and fitting child seats challenge”.

Our child seat had a “V” type belt connection to the car anchor point and that fitted OK. See photos.

The other is a child’s booster seat. It has a “single” strap to the car anchor point and it has to go over the top of the headrest.

I was a bit concerned about the “stability” of the setup but it seems to be OK.

If there is a “grove” in the top of the headrest in “10 years time” that will be a small price to pay for our grandchildren’s safety. Mind you "adjustable headrests" would have been much better.
