Install a Baby Seat Using ISOFIX Connectors

Installing a baby seat can be daunting and can be worse than putting flat pack furniture together. By choosing an ISOFIX car seat, you are choosing one of the safest ways for your child to travel in the car with added peace of mind.

ISOFIX is an internationally standardised car seat fitting system. It automatically locks your car seat – or car seat base – onto two metal clips (ISOFIX fixing points) between the vehicle seat of your car. ISOFIX has been a standard in most new cars from 2006.
