Child Seat Anchor On 99 Rx 300

[sox and martin]

I have just recently purchased this unit and have to install car seats for my children. I looked high and low for tether anchor points. Can anyone tell me how I should proceed?

I have a '99 RX300 as well and bought a child seat for it recently. After all the reading in the manual and elsewhere, I finally figured out that there are no anchor points built into the bottom of the back seats. There are anchor points built in to the back of the back seats, for only for the outside passenger spaces, not for the center seat.

Again, these are anchor points, not anchors. They are just threaded holes that you can attach to. As I recall, you can feel the holes about a foot below the top. Lexus sells the kits to attach into those holes. In the end, all you can do is to anchor the top of the child seat to one of these, and the seat belts hold the bottom.

For the seat I purchased, I could never make it work using the center lap belt -- I had to use one of the outside belts.

I hope that helps some.
