Types of Installation for car seat
According to ECE R44/04 regulations, there are two ways to install a car seat; either seat belt or ISOFIX.
- A. ISOFIX
ISOFIX is an internationally standardised car seat fitting system that allows you to fix your child’s car seat to your car without a seatbelt. It can automatically lock your car seat with two metal clips between the vehicle seat of your car.
- B. SEAT BELT
Seat belt is equally as effective as ISOFIX in preventing deaths and reducing injuries. You must make sure the seat belt locks to hold the seat tightly.
3 types of car seat
- 1. Infant Carrier
ISOFIX is an internationally standardised car seat fitting system that allows you to fix your child’s car seat to your car without a seatbelt. It can automatically lock your car seat with two metal clips between the vehicle seat of your car.
- 2. Convertible car seat
Convertible car seat is used from birth until your child outgrows a car seat. This means that it lasts you longer and you get more use out of your investment. They can be used either in rear-facing or forward-facing positions depending on the size of your child.
- 3. Combination seat
Combination seat is used for children at least 1 year or above/ minimum weight requirement from 9kg, depending on the model you select. It can convert into a belt-positioning booster seat when your child reaches the weight at least 18kg or is at least 4 years old.
