What is Isofix ? Car Seats
What is Isofix ?ISOFIX is the latest and safest system for fitting your car seat. ISOFIX stands for “International Standards Organisation’s FIX.”
Isofix seats enable you to fit your car seat without using a seat belt. Instead it uses Isofix points, which many new cars are now constructed with. You may not realise you have this ingenious system in your car so check with your dealer or manufacturer. It is also possible to have the points fitted into your car. You would need to discuss this with your dealer or a qualified mechanic. The Isofix points are integral to your car’s frame and once the seat is ‘clicked’ onto these points the car seat becomes locked to the car’s frame. The points can be found near the bottom of the back part of the passenger seats, they will look like two slits in the material.
To fit an Isofix seat ensure that you click the seat onto the Isofix points by ‘plugging’ it into the two slits until you here it ‘click’ onto both sides.
Isofix seats were found to be the safest on the market in recent independent testing. It goes without saying that this is therefore the most desirable car seat purchase you can make.
