Isofix is the safest, easiest and quickest way to install a car seat in the car. This system is located in your car, between the backrest and the seat cushion. There are two attachment points here, and the Isofix base can be clicked into place. The base always remains in the car and does not need to be removed. All you have to do is install the car seat correctly. Indicators ensure the car seat is properly secured in the car. Very easy and quick to use!
