WHAT ARE ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN A
VEHICLE?
ISOFIX low anchorages are fixed, standardised anchoring points for securely
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.
Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of top tether anchorage points.
An available anchor point is required to attach the top tether strap onto. The top tether strap must be used
with this child restraint when used in a road veichle.
If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages 95 to 98 for the
installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.
Select a seating position with a child restraint anchor fitting directly behind the seating position.
Determine if the vehicle ISOFIX Low Anchorages or Seatbelt will be used to secure the restraint
installation. The ISOFLEX connectors will need to be deployed from their storage location prior to adjusting
the seat recline angle to rearward facing mode.
