nearest child restraint fitting station or traffic authority for vehicle
inspection to find the best, correct position for the placement of
the upper anchorage point, and for the correct attachment bolt

for the vehicle. Note to Queensland purchasers: The installation
of anchorage points must be approved by authorised officers
