installing an ISOFIX compatible child restraint in a vehicle fitted with ISOFIX
low anchorages. They are an alternative method of installing the child restraint
without using the car's seatbelt.
ISOFIX is an international standard for vehicle child seat anchorages.
This anchoring technology minimises installation mistakes by optimising the
protective effect of the connection between vehicle and ISOFIX compatible child
restraint.
