fitting child restraint systems that elim-inates the need to use the standardadult seat belt to secure the child
restraint system in the vehicle. This
causes a much more secure and pos-
itive location with the added benefit of
easier and quicker installation. An ISOFIX child restraint system may
only be installed An ISOFIX vehicle-
