Isofix Fittings

The Isofix fitting are now becoming more common in new cars although they are often an option at the time of purchase, they cannot be retro fitted - so it is important to check in the car before purchasing an Isofix seat.

The Isofix fitting on the Explora will form a direct link with the chassis of the car, this will mean that the child seat will start to brake when the car brakes are applied, when a seat is fitted using seat belts there is a very short delay while the seat belts ‘lock-off’.

It is important to check compatibility of all the vehicles you wish to fit with the Explora car seat, the Britax Fit Finder web site www.britax.eu will give full details, you will need the make, model and year of the vehicles.

Should any of the vehicles not be approved or not have Isofix fittings the seat can be easily fitted using an adult 3-point seat belt.

The unique Britax ‘pivot link’ on the Explora car seat not only makes fitting the seat much easier, with a much lower chance of the seat being ‘miss fitted’ it also reduces the movement of your child within the seat in the event of an accident.
