Default Child seats for 2002 RX 300

Does anyone have a childseat (front facing for a toddler) that they would recommend for the 2002 RX 300? Or, has anyone had problems with a particular model...i.e. didn't fit? We haven't picked up the car yet, and the dealer didn't know whether it's equipped with the new LATCH tether system for child seats. Does anyone know if it is? Thanks for any help and advice you can offer.

I'm not sure what the LATCH system is but I think it does. There is a latch of some sort on the back of the second row seats - its towards the middle.

LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. '01-'02 RX 300s have the Latch system tether anchors, as well as Iso-Fix system bars. Look in your owner's manual under "Child".

More info regarding LATCH is available here:

I have a S-KINAL system (Small Kids Not Allowed). It works great The best interior treatment I've ever used.

I have a Britax Advantage that fits well and my son seems to like it. It also has the tether that latches to the provided anchors.

Default car seat recomendation

i havent shopped around for fit but
the cosco 3 in 1 car seat seems to fit well.
its about $130. adjusts from infant to 50+ lbs.

the lexus is great with the adjustable back rear seats so
i think most seat types would work pretty well.

id throw a towel under the seat for those inevitable spills.

Speaking from first hand experience, this is an absolute must! Plus the dye on the seat material started to rub onto the ivory leather seats. Between that, spills, crumbs and the hot interior while it's parked, a towel covering the entire area where the car seat is anchored is a must!

Help. I have a 2003 RX 300 and nowhere can we find the anchors to install front facing child seats. We have two young grandchildren and need to find some way to anchor their seats. Where can I go to have them installed. Can they be installed?
