How you remove your child seat with Isofix depends on the model. In any case, removal is very easy with this fastening system.
Remove the Isofix from the child seat correctly
Child seats with Isofix have the advantage that they are easy to install and remove. How to correctly remove the seat with the new fastening system:
- To remove a child seat with Isofix attachment all you have to do is press the release buttons. This releases the snap-in hooks in the locking arms. These are often located on the side. Check the operating instructions for your child seat to find out exactly where the release buttons are located on your seat.
- Once you have pressed the release buttons, simply pull the child seat forwards and it will detach from the seat and you can remove it.
- Some child seat models also require you to press the lock button and pull the seat forward at the same time. This is intended to further increase the safety of the child seat. This information can also be found in the operating instructions for your specific child seat model.
- Baby car seats are often anchored in the Isofix attachment point with an Isofix base, as they are installed and removed more frequently than a child seat. Here too, you only need to press the release buttons to release the base station.
These are the advantages of child seats with Isofix
The innovative fastening system Isofix, which was developed in the 1990s, not only offers the advantage of faster installation and removal of a child seat.
- Correct installation: Child seats that are fastened with Isofix have the advantage that you cannot make any mistakes during installation. A click sound or color signal lets you know that the seat has been installed correctly. Once the seat has been firmly clicked into place, your child will sit securely during the journey;
- More safety: In the case of child seats with a belt system, it is possible for the child to release the fastening themselves during the journey; this risk does not exist with child seats with a standardized Isofix mount.
- Fixed anchorage: A child seat with Isofix is firmly anchored in the car. If you drive around in the car without your child, you do not need to secure the seat with a belt. It also does not slide back and forth during the journey.
This means even more safety for your child in the event of an accident.
