When I bring my T5 California to Oz next year as a personal import I'm going to have to comply with the archaic Australian child restraint regulations despite having isofix fittings factory installed.

I remember when I brought my Mk2 GTI in they drilled some bolts into the roof so I desperately hope they won't try that with the Cali.

My question. How are the top-tether child restraint anchorages done in T5s in Oz ? Do they (hopefully) mount into the floor rails like the seats themselves or do I have to get bloody great big bolts drilled into the lovely California interior ?

As I have a 5 seat configuration (extra single) the floor rail option would be much the better of the two evils.

As to the obvious question of would I use the Australian system ? The answer is a firm NO. I would use ISOFIX seats and put the safety of my children above the law.

Thanks in advance
