Bases ISOFIX

Bases ISOFIX provide extra stability and safety on the road. Your ISOFIX base is directly secured to your car’s chassis instead of a securement via seatbelt. In short: firm, stable and very safe. Check beforehand if your car is ISOFIX ready before purchasing a car seat and ISOFIX base combination.

Car seat base

A car seat base is the base on which you place the car seat. Leave the base in the car. Simply attach the car seat to the base and you’re ready to go. It’s the perfect system for busy parents. Place your little one quickly and safe in the car and off you go.

ISOFIX

ISOFIX is an international standardized system to attach car seats. There are attachment points in the car where you attach the base or car seat to. Most new cars already have these attachment points. In some cases it’s possible to install the attachment points afterwards. When buying an ISOFIX car seat or base, make sure to check if your car has these attachment points.

Buying bases ISOFIX

Attach ISOFIX bases by using the standardised attachment points. These bases are easily installed and left in the car. Most of the times, visual indicators show you that the installation is correct. Before buying a base, check which car seats are suitable for it. It would be a waste if your car seat doesn’t fit on the base! ISOFIX bases also have the following advantages:

• They reduce the risk of incorrect installation. Research has shown that car seats that are installed by using the seat belt are more likely to be installed incorrectly.
• They guarantee a solid, permanent connection between the car seat and the car’s chassis.
• All tests show that they’re extremely safe. Car seats that comply with the latest European legislation must therefore also be installed using ISOFIX.

Types of ISOFIX bases

The bases come in different types. There are bases that are universal and types that are only suitable for certain brands and/or models. There are also types on which you can put the car seat in different positions, forwards and backwards. To make travelling even easier, there are also rotating bases. With these types of bases, you simply place the car seat on the base and turn your little one into the right position.
