Product Information

Most car seats or seat bases with a support leg have something visual, such as a green or red indicator or an audible guide that will bleep at you if the leg is set to the wrong length or installed correctly. 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.

The tether point is usually found in the boot somewhere, but not always, so refer to your car’s manual to find out where it is in your car. Next, attach the top-tethering belt to the designated top-tethering point in your car. Usually, some indicators depict if the tether is secured correctly. Do not use head restraints or a luggage hook to tether the seat, as these are unable to withstand the forces generated during a crash. ISOFIX Seats In Indian CarsRead: 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? Group 1 seats are mostly rearward-facing, too, while front-facing is also legal. It applies to children from 9 months to 4 years and weighing 9 to 18 kgs. There are several benefits to using an Isofix child seat over one that connects using the three-point belt. The primary benefit is simplicity and a greatly reduced chance of fitting the seat incorrectly. Before Isofix became the norm, it was found that parents would often fit child seats incorrectly. Doing so could potentially make the seat less safe, offering the child less restraint and protection in a crash.

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? With ISOFIX, the risk of installing a car seat incorrectly is smaller, compared to using your car’s seat belt. At Maxi-Cosi we offer an ISOFIX solution in each age category; baby, toddler and child. if you look at the crash test data for some restraints, the isofix is less safe whilst for others it’s safer.

Safety tests show that ISOFIX is extremely safe. The risk of incorrect installation is low – 94% of parents use ISOFIX correctly. Choose a car seat that clearly shows how the seat belt must be positioned. This will reduce the risk of using it incorrectly.

it’s a lot harder to stuff up the install of an isofix restraint and this is where I see it as a superior system. First, what type of seat is appropriate for the age and size of your child? If your child is under 13kg and 85cm, they may use an infant carrier. Another option is a convertible car seat, which can grow with your child for a number of years. All Joie convertible car seats are suitable from birth. Convertible seats can then be used with the 5-point harness restraint until your child is 18kg or 105cm, at which point they should move to booster mode.

I really wish to get the ISOFIX anchorages fixed and as it there in the international variant, I would appreciate some input from experienced BHPians who are concerned about this.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. 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).

So, let’s give you a little glimpse of what ISOFIX seats beholds. What are ISOFIX seats? ISOFIX Child seat Isofix is a child car seat attachment system that uses metal anchor points built in to the chassis of the car. The Isofix connectors from your baby or child car seat fit on to these. They’re designed to make installing a car seat much easier, which lowers the risk of getting it wrong.

a permanent connection between our car seat and the car, in case of a sudden brake, less force will impact on your little one. ISOFIX points became mandatory in cars with four or more seats in November 2012, so any car manufactured after this time will definitely have it. Many carmakers have been fitting ISOFIX points for far longer than that; numerous cars from the 2000s have ISOFIX. That includes a 2003 Renault Megane, a 2006 Honda Civic and a 2009 Ford Fiesta. A notable exception is the 2004-2011 Ford Focus (and the related Ford C-MAX). A: ECE R44/04 is the older car seat testing regulation for Europe, and ECE R129 is the newer standard that was ratified in July 2013. ECE R129 and ECE R44/04 have been running in tandem for the last 9 years, but as of September 1, 2023, ECE R129 will become the only standard under which car seat manufacturers may certify car seats for sale in Europe. One year later, on September 1, 2024, brands and retailers in the UK and EU will be required to cease the sale of any car seat certified under the ECE R44/04 standard. For baby car seats, you will need an additional car seat base to use ISOFIX. Most first-time parents install our baby car seats correctly thanks to the easy-to-use ISOFIX base . For toddler car seats, you can either choose for a car seat that is installed with your car’s seat belt or with ISOFIX. For child car seats, you can choose for an ISOFIX car seat in addition to the seat belt, for a more stable seat.
