How does IsoFix work?

In the gap between the back rest and seat are two robust metal mounting brackets located 28 cm apart. The respective car seat is anchored at this vehicle-side connection point with rigid mounting brackets attached to the back side of the car seat. These locking arms engage with the mounting brackets via a click locking device. So: Click it in – and it holds!

In the case of the universal acceptance, there is a second fastening measure through an additional belt that goes from the back side of the car seat over the back rest of the vehicle and is then fastened with a hook on a bracket in the car. This additional immobilization prevents an undesired rotation of the seat around the mounting brackets. So the seat stays in place.
