Hi need some advise on the isofix - what seat should I buy etc.etc. It looks a fantastic system and more secure than other children car seats.

PS I know have 3 kids and don't want any more, does anyone know a good surgeon, and does it hurt? That may be more information than is needed! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Hi VA

back to topic " ISOFIX "

I had this fitted( option at time ) in my Audis and the seats that you by are Isofix specific. You dont just buy any old seat. They are a fantastic device and make fitting/removing child seats "childs play" ( excuse the pun )

You can get them to cover all ages / sizes

You will also be able to fit your Isofix seat into any other car that has the Isofix system fitted.


As for the other...... just think of Nora Batty whenever you get the urge.

Has anyone seen an isofix booster cusion? My daughter has just turned 7 and she has stopped using her Recarro seat (which goes up to 11 years) as it is too 'babyish'. I still insist she uses a booster seat though. However, it moves around and makes the leather dirty. I've been looking for an isofix version, but can't find any. Matt

Link out the safety switch on the micrwave oven, you know its done when you start to feel nice and warm down there Or you could kneel in front of an RRS with ACC fitted............................ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Chaps, Britax do really good ISOFIX seats.

Or at least my two nippers (4 & 1) think so  10 Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder
10 Rangey Sport HSE TdV6 (with Overfinch bling)
10 Audi Q5 2.0Tdi DSG S-Line
No 1 on the list for an Evoque (for wife obviously!)

They don't do a booster seat though do they? Well at least their website doesn't show one. Matt

Mosi, yes you're correct. But the booster seat moves about when a child is sitting on it (especially on leather seats) and it would make much more sence if the seat could be fixed down, even though the child is restrained by the seatbelt only.
I put a cream coloured (to match the leather) pillow case cover under my daughters booster seat to stop the seat marking the leather and to stop it sliding about too much. It is surprising how dirty the material gets from the movement of the seat. Matt

I use a small rubber mat under child seats, booster or infant. Keeps it from sliding and damaging the leather. (Booster has a "guide" for the seat belt that prevents some movement while childless.)

By the way, ISOFIX (LATCH) is generally not used beyond 40 lbs. for safety purposes. The "real" belts must be used beyond that.

Try some of the non slip white bobbly material fromyacht chandlers and also used as carpet underlay sometimes. I have some in the house that I take out to the ship and can post a photo if you want

Here is the piccy of the grippy stuff

Good idea Tim and thanks for the offer. A local 'pound type' shop (you know the type that sells cheap cleaning products, mops, kids toys and greating cards) in the local town sells small rolls of that stuff for only a couple of quid. Matt

You can also get it in caravanning and camping shops. I think you can also get it from Lakeland Plastics shops. My parents use it in their mobile home thing to stop cutlery moving round in the drawers and rattling as they drive along holding up the traffic! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
