The Toyota RAV4 has consistently been one of the most popular mid-size SUVs worldwide, thanks to its spacious interior and family-friendly design. Its practical features—such as open-style ISOFIX connectors, wide rear-seat access, and a well-positioned center seat—make it an excellent choice for installing child safety seats. In this guide, we’ll demonstrate how to install a child seat or booster using PERO safety seats in a real Toyota RAV4, along with key tips and considerations to ensure a secure and hassle-free setup.
Toyota Rav4 Child Car Seat Installation Guide
The Toyota Rav4’s back seats come with isofix lower anchors. In this vehicle, the ISOFIX style uses the Seat Gap-Style, meaning you can access the lower anchors by reaching into the gap between the seat cushions.

Toyota Rav4 with PERO Installation Example
The Toyota RAV4 is widely recognized as a family-friendly vehicle, with a body width of approximately 186 cm. Its spacious interior can accommodate up to three PERO slim-design child safety seats. When paired with WIDFIX extenders, the seats can be adjusted to their maximum width, leaving a small gap between the outer seats and the car doors—even after installation of various PERO car seats or boosters.
However, when using ISOFIX installation alone, the fixed position of the anchor points can restrict the available space in the center seat. For families installing two or more child seats, or when sharing the rear bench with other passengers, we recommend using the vehicle’s seat belt or combining ISOFIX with the WIDFIX extenders to optimize space and comfort.
