The ISOFIX anchorage system enables you to easily install child restraint systems without the fear of making a mistake. There is only one type of ISOFIX system, meaning the ISOFIX fittings on the seat base are always compatible with the car’s anchorages because this is a well-defined international standard.
This system consists of two anchors or rings that are part of the vehicle’s body. It is a universal system in which the anchors engage with the ISOFIX child car seat by means of rigid bars which are pushed against the rings and locked with a simple click.
The main difference can be found in the third anchorage point, which could be either: at the top (Top Tether) or at the bottom (Support Leg). The purpose of this third point is to prevent the child seat from moving around or tipping. Since not all cars come equipped with this, it is important to research the most appropriate CRS for you before you buy it.
