Default (LATCH) lower anchors and tethers for children

I Just had a baby and went to install car seat base in vehicle. Come to find out my truck doesn't have any lower anchors. Anybody know if there is anywhere to get them for the RAM.

Not that i know of. My '08 has them as pointed to in the pic


So if you don't have those, then i would say buy a rear seat from a 2006+newer as long as they will fit.

I just went out and looked and it doesn't look like mine has any D-rings on the bottom either. There are flat D-rings on the tops of all 3 back seats though. And the center shoulder strap looks like it might unbuckle at the bottom. Maybe the seat can fasten to that somehow. If you figure anything out, let me know please.

How would the ones at the tops of the seat attach?? Are they for the forward facing seats??

Apparently "after 02" doesn't include the 02s. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to add a strap to the seat. Probably just bolts to the same location as the seat belt.
