ISOFIX:

ISOFIX stands for International Standards Organisation FIX. Car manufacturers and child car seat producers have cooperated to produce the most secure child car seat fixtures to date. All new cars will have small, inconspicuous fixtures and child car seats will have fittings on the back which lock together creating a solid link between your child's car seat and your car.

The ISOFIX fittings remove the danger of incorrect fitting of the car seat. An incorrectly fitted car seat can seriously danger your child's life. The design of the ISOFIX fitting system considerably reduces the possibility of fitting the seat incorrectly.

The majority of cars built since 2002 should have ISOFIX fittings. However, ISOFIX did not become an industry standard until 2006. All cars built after 2006 have ISOFIX fittings. It is essential that you check thatt your car has ISOFIX fittings before buying an ISOFIX car seat. You can contact your manufacturer to check or you can look in your car's manual. It will be clearly stated if your car has ISOFIX fittings. You can also ask your retailer or check the manufacturer's website.

The most important thing to do is check that your car is compatible with the ISOFIX system!

ISOFIX is currently regarded as the safest form of fixing a child seat to your care. The benefits are many and as a result, ISOFIX products are now widely available.

It is also important to make sure you buy the correct size seat. There are a number of categories from 0 to 3 which cover children from birth up to 12 years of age.

It should be noted that ISOFIX is not more or less safe than a regular, properly secured, child car seat. However, it has been estimated that up to 80% of all child car seats are not fitted correctly. In order to truly ensure your child's safety, an ISOFIX booster seat or base is highly recommended. Have the peace of mind which goes with a safe journey for you and your child. Choose ISOFIX.
