Isofix in mk4?
« on: 09 February 2010, 21:34 »
I got a baby on the way and I'm loving the recaro baby seats. Was wondering if the mk4 (agu with recaro's) has the correct points for the isofix thing, also what do the fixing look like?

Also anyone happen to know if a KA mk1 has the fixings too?

EDIT: I found this list, I'm guessing it lists compatible cars for isofix?

Hi mate im 99% sure they are in there and they are basically a loop of metal , if you pull your base part of ya seats up you should see a loop of metal at the back almost in the boot if ya get what i mean.  :undecided:

Personally i'd do a little research as to what would be the best for your baby,both comfort and protection   if god forbid you had a crash with the baby on board.

+1

certain seats will only fit certain cars properly

My missus works for local Trading Standards and they hold open days throughout the year on how to choose and fit your car seat properly

You'll be amazed at how many people have the WRONG seat fitted to their car  :shocked: :shocked:

Also if you have two cars DO NOT assume that if it fits in one car, it will fit straight into the other........

i'm ordering/collecting my recaro maclaren combo tomorrow, getting it with an isofix base which is circa 70-80 quid. and then the seat just clips in no messing about with the seatbelt.

i'll see what i can do about some pics if its still light after work when i get home.

shame they don't do it in mk4 colours, having to get it in brown/light blue. and then work on getting it retrimmed so the brown is black

Thanks, that would be great if you can get some pictures, as the one I got is in black and grey, very similar to my interior without the cross patched (checkered) pattern.
