Any Swedish Prius owners on this forum?

Welcome! I am not from Sweden, but do have a question for you. I have asked other Europeans about this, but it pertains particularly to Swedish cars.

I have a rear-facing child seat with a top tether. When attached to a floor anchor or otherwise, it is described as "the Swedish method". The Prius for USA has no such anchor available. (There are anchors between the seats and behind the seats for front facing).

Does your owner's manual indicate a "top tether" for the floor for rear-facing attachment?

It would look something like the anchor indicated in location "3" in this picture:

I was hoping that you could tell me if there is an anchor in the floor of your Prius or if not, if the owner's manual indicates that one can be purchased from and installed by the dealership.

Thanks for looking! I'm referring to the backseat, not the front seat. I'm hoping there was a mount somewhere on the floor or on the hump in the center. I may have to drill and weld something in.

Thanks! ISOFIX is known as LATCH (in caps) in the USA. I think ISOFIX is a better name because it prevents confusion between LATCH and any other latch like the door latch or whatever.

Anyway, thanks for looking.

I am from Sweden. Ordered my Prius last week and found this site today.

 

There was one person from Norway posting here about 2-3 weeks ago, too---English-speaking, of course.

 

Another one from Sweden with a Prii on order...

I get deliver in mid Feb after waiting around 4.5 month..
As of now the amount of Priuses in Stockholm is raising like the gas prize. Can't understand why??? Well it's the "extra" tax normal car will get while entering the center of Stockholm upto $8/day!!!!

Prius and other enviromental safe cars get nothing, zipp, nada... One of the reasons to order the Prius but I was tempted to get one in 2004 when the 2nd generation launched, but the prize was too high at the time.... atleast for me...

Hi there,

I'm moving to sweden in the near future, and would like a prius too but can any current swedish prius owners put up some comments about the insurance-part of having a prius in sweden?

Perhaps some hints of which company i need to seek in order to get the best / cheapest and so on?

Sincerely,
Kenneth (Partyman)

 

Yes, another Swede has found this great forums !

Picked up my Prius today.

A Bronze 2004 Buisness (same as US Touring package #5, I think)

So now my old RAV4 is for sale.

En annan svensk här också men jag bor i Boston nu förtiden och kör en fullt utrustad 2006 Prius.

 

I ordered my Prius on the last day of april and it'll get delivered in august. I would have received the car sooner but my better half insisted on getting a red one so we'll have to wait. The only downside is that I really love my current car, a Citroën C2 1,6 VTR with Sensodrive gearbox but since my dealer went out of business and I felt that I couldnt trust the other two dealers I've visited, it was time to get a new car.
