Securing a child restraint system
with "ISOFIX" system and "Top
tether Anchorages"
ISOFIX is a standardised method of
fitting child restraint systems that elim-
inates the need to use the standard
adult seat belt to secure the child
restraint system in the vehicle. This
causes a much more secure and pos-
itive location with the added benefit of
easier and quicker installation.
An ISOFIX child restraint system may
only be installed if it has vehicle-spe-
cific or universal approval in accor-
dance with the requirements of ECE-
R 44 or ECE-R 129.
