WARNING
The locking eyes have just been developed for child safety seats which
use the "ISOFIX" system. You should therefore never attach other child
safety seats, seat belts or objects to the locking eyes - hazard!
Ask a specialist garage whether a child seat which you bought for

seat with "ISOFIX" system.
Certain child seats which use the "ISOFIX" system can be attached with
standard three-point seat belts. Please pay close attention to instructions
from the manufacturer of the child safety seat when installing and removing
the seat.
