Why FORTHING Child Seat Anchors Are Essential for Modern Families
FORTHING vehicles are known for performance, design, and family-oriented features. Among the most crucial of these are child seat anchors, which provide a safe and legal way to secure child car seats. As governments enforce stricter child safety laws, having the right anchoring system isn’t optional—it’s essential.

No. The kits come with brackets, bolts, labels, and installation guides.
Can I install them on older FORTHING models?
Check vehicle compatibility using the VIN tool or consult customer support. Most models post-2015 are compatible.
