    child restraints / CRAB bar installation costs

    I recently had a quote for $495+ GST to install a CRAB bar in the rear of my GU patrol with 3 anchor points in similar location to attached photo.

    Has anyone had this done recently and if so, how much did it costs? Any ideas on who else could complete this work around Melbourne eastern suburbs so I could get another quote?

    Thanks

    Hi mate. Why the need for the crab bar? Is it to accommodate 3 child seat re-straints?

    there's only 2 restraint points in a GU behind the middle row and 1 in front of the small barn door for the 3rd row, same as the GQ.......... if memory serves correct

    Hey hodge the draw system I've got covers the two factory points, so need to replace that and having the 3rd point would be useful if picking up other family or friends kids

    Makes sense mate. I completely forgot about draws covering the 2 points. Will have to keep this in mind when I eventually fit draws.

    Black widow systems build points into the draws.
    Have read it's $20 a point but unsure how old that is..
    They have steel draws so unsure who else offers this option
    Cheers

    I have a crab bar fitted to my GU. Cost $295 I think from a mob in Perth. I would get some other quotes $495 is a bit rich I reckon basically all your paying for is the certification for the bar.

    Its well worth getting it fitted if you need 3 anchor points for the middle row of seats.

    Yeh I saw that information on their website, but I'd assume it only applies to black widow draws that have been specifically designed and tested to accept the points
