Product Information

As mentioned, installation systems for child restraints are either three-point static safety belts or ISOFIX. The ISOFIX anchorage points in the vehicle are inexpensive, however the child restrains that utilise these ISOFIX anchorage points are a more expensive than the seats that use the three-point safety belts. With the three-point static safety belt there are a number of issues that makes installing car seats a little bit more complex. This complexity could affect the proper installation of the child restraint, which could lead to the seat not being safe in a collision. There has recently been a lot of buzz around safety in a car with people actually taking NCAP rating seriously. This made people switch from unsafe cars to robustly built cars. But there is still a very important aspect to this whole safety spectrum that we ignore, that is child safety. Isofix child seats

Both of these work to prevent the car seat tipping forward in an accident and you can find out more about them below. As previously stated, ISOFIX has the advantage of being universal, and will thus accommodate the child restraint installation regardless of the brand or model of seat. Where can I get it? It is a metal attachment that is built into your vehicle’s seating by the car manufacturer. This attachment matches corresponding ISOFIX ‘fingers’ found on children’s car seats designated ‘ISOFIX seats’.Car safety includes many technical topics, among which ISOFIX. By choosing an ISOFIX car seat , you are choosing one of the safest ways for your child to travel in the car. But what is it exactly and why is it so safe? As leading specialists in child mobility, we are eager to share all there is to know for parents about ISOFIX. Read: What is ISOFIX http://www.maxi-cosi.com/car-seats/car-seat-safety/choosing-a-child-car-seat/what-is-isofix.aspx How did this cool concept come about? Once you’ve ascertained the right child seat for your kid, fitting it to your car’s ISOFIX points is pretty simple. Firstly, locate the ISOFIX points in your car. This can be done by going through the owner’s manual or looking for the ISOFIX label on the rear seats. The ISOFIX system isn’t considered a necessity in our vehicles, as with most safety systems. While many luxury cars in India get ISOFIX seats, we are slowly witnessing these seats in mid-size cars too. As an example, Toyota India has introduced ISOFIX seats as standard on all variants of the 2016 Etios Platinum. ISOFIX seats aren’t available in many cars at the same price. Alternatively, look for the ISOFIX identifier on the rear seats. Normally, these are the two outboard positions on the rear seat. They may also be found in the front seat of some vehicles.

ISOFIX was first introduced in 1997 so it’s been around a while. It was developed by Britax-Romer in collaboration with VW and by 2001, most European cars are believed to have integrated the technology. Includes side impact testing standards that every car seat must pass. ECE R44/04 only tested frontal and rear impacts. ISOFIX is a way of securing a child’s car seat in a car that is easy and safe. It saves parents and caregivers from having to wrestle a seatbelt around a car seat every time they want to go out, and gives them peace of mind that children will be protected in the event of an accident. The fact that it’s easy to install also improves safety. Several studies have shown that child seats secured by the seatbelts are often installed incorrectly, which could put your child at risk. A German insurance institute found that only three in 10 were fitted right, while 95% of ISOFIX seats were fitted correctly. What is ISOFIT?In South Africa, the safety standards adopted by the vehicle industry are those of European legislation, and we will hopefully see all imported passenger vehicles with ISOFIX installed as standard in the future. Can it be retrofitted? When securing the top tether, it’s vital to make sure you’re attaching the strap to the correct anchor point in your car, as sometimes a tether point can be mistaken for a headrest stem or luggage tether fixing (neither of these are meant for use with a child car seat and aren't designed to withstand the forces of a crash). Anything that can simplify the task of being a parent is always cool. However at this level, cool also means safer, and this is exceptionally reassuring for parents. Who are the main end-users? Are they nervous people, or forward thinking people? The ISOFIX introduction into vehicles began as early as 2002 in Europe. Manufacturers of child restraints, or baby car seats, were challenged with trying to get their product to work effectively in as many vehicles in the marketplace as possible.
