Parents are always concerned about safety when driving with their lovely babies since it is horrible if they just put their baby in the car with the seat belt. What if there are some tools that can faster them up and make them safe so as to concentrate on driving? Here ISOFIX comes for them!
What is ISOFIX?
ISOFIX is short for International Standards Organisation FIX, which is a new international standard for placing a child seat on a car, making it faster and easier on Child Seat Installation. It is a kind of plug for inserting the child seat. Most car manufacturers have already produced their cars like Toyota Calya with this fix. Thus, before purchasing a car, you'd better ask the seller if your car owns this ISOFIX first.
Functions of ISOFIX:
1. Making the whole installation quicken. You don't need to waste time finding the way to add your child seat to your car.
2. Once you have managed to place the seat on your car, it is permanent at all.
3. Improve the safety when you just put your baby on only your car.
However, even though the car owns ISOFIX, it is better to faster the seat in the correct manner. If not, the ISOFIX will cause security risks. Hence, it is better to choose the right ISOFIX depending on the age of your baby.
ISOFIX suit for who and how to choose?
ISOFIX is suited for newborn babies to 4 years old kids, while ISOFIT is for 5 years old to 12 years old children. And ISOFIX has 3 kinds of ISOFIX seats, universal, semi-universal, and vehicle specific. According to the name illustrated, universal is suit for all the cars, while semi-universal just suit half of them. And vehicle-specific ISOFIX seats are just for some partial cars. But my warming suggestion is that purchasing the universal one will be once and for all.
Up till now, you have the main picture on ISOFIX. Hope you and your baby can enjoy a lovely and safe journey.
