Does the Toyota Land Cruiser have ISOFIX?
Yes. In the current generation and most recent prior generations, the Land Cruiser lineup generally supports ISOFIX (also known as LATCH in some markets) for securing child seats. Availability can vary by model year, trim level, and regional market, so it’s best to verify for your specific vehicle.
What ISOFIX is and why it matters
ISOFIX is the standardized system for attaching child seats without using the seat belt. Anchors are installed at the seat joints and the top tether anchors provide additional restraint. Using ISOFIX reduces the risk of incorrect installation and increases safety for child passengers.
Where to find ISOFIX anchors on the Land Cruiser
ISOFIX anchors are typically located on the rear seating area of modern Land Cruiser variants. Here are the key details to look for:
- Outer rear seats: Each seat usually has two lower ISOFIX anchors located between the seat cushion and backrest; you may see a small ISOFIX label or symbol.
- Center rear seat: Most Land Cruiser configurations do not provide primary lower anchors on the center seat; if in doubt, check your manual or with a dealer.
- Top tether anchors: In most trims, top tether anchors are present for outer seats and can be used in conjunction with ISOFIX for compatible child seats.
To confirm, consult the owner’s manual, check the seat back labels, or ask a Toyota dealer. Vehicle documentation and interior labeling often reveal ISOFIX presence and exact locations for your market and model year.
Model-specific notes
Current generation: Land Cruiser 300 Series (introduced 2021)
In markets where the 300 Series is sold, ISOFIX/LATCH anchors are typically standard on the rear outer seats, with top tether anchors available on the same seats. There is generally no dedicated ISOFIX anchor on a center rear seat in most configurations. Always verify with the local specification for your country, as features can vary by trim and market.
Land Cruiser Prado / LC150 (the 2-row variant)
The Prado/LC150 lineage also features ISOFIX anchors on the outer rear seats in most regions, with top tether points. As with the full-size Land Cruiser, you should verify for your specific model year and market, since configurations can differ by trim and region.
Older generations (e.g., LC200)
Earlier Land Cruiser generations generally offered ISOFIX on the rear seats in many markets, though not universally. If you own an older 200 Series, check the seat labels or the owner’s manual, or ask a dealer to confirm the presence and position of ISOFIX anchors on your vehicle.
How to verify for your vehicle
To be certain, you can perform a quick inspection and cross-check with official documentation:
- Look for the ISOFIX symbol between the seat cushions of the rear outer seats.
- Check the seat belt buckles and fabric labels for ISOFIX labeling.
- Consult your owner’s manual or the Toyota website for your exact VIN and market.
- Ask a Toyota dealer or service department to confirm installations for your region and model year.
In any case, if you plan to install child seats, always use the correct anchors and attach with the top tether as instructed by the seat manufacturer and vehicle manual.
Summary
Most modern Toyota Land Cruiser models include ISOFIX anchors on the rear outer seats, with top tether anchors commonly available. Availability can vary by generation, trim, and regional market, so verify with your vehicle’s documentation or a local dealer to ensure precise placement for your specific model.
