Vehicle Fit

Check your anchors before ordering.

BoostedSafe is designed for compatible vehicles with rear-seat LATCH or ISOFIX anchor points. The lower anchors are usually located in the rear seat bight, which is the crease where the rear seat back meets the seat bottom.

Fit varies by year, make, model, trim, and seating layout. Before choosing a model, confirm that your vehicle has accessible rear-seat anchors.

Good To Know

Choose Basic for simplicity

Basic is a strong choice if you want a manual combination lock and key backup without electronic setup.

Choose Elite for faster access

Elite is the better fit if you want fingerprint access, keypad access, and key backup in one model.

Choose Mini for the new format

Mini Elite and Mini Basic are their own pre-order product family and should be compared separately from the full-size lineup.

Check fit first

Vehicle fit should be checked before ordering. Fit varies by year, make, model, trim, and seating layout.
