ISOFIX is the term used for the standard interface between vehicle and child seat. This method of installation simplifies handling and reduces respectively avoids misuse in the installation of child car seats. ISOFIX is an alternative to the conventional installation with the vehicle belt and results in lower loads on the child, thus reducing or entirely avoiding injuries. ISOFIX was shown for the first time by VW in co-operation with BRITAX RÖMER on the International Motor Show IAA 1997. Today ISOFIX is standard equipment in many new vehicles or can be obtained as extra feature when purchasing the vehicle or as an upgrade.
