AA How to - Fit Child Car Seats

Our patrols have seen many ill-fitting car seats when they are rescuing members by the roadside. Here one of our patrols, John Cummins, runs through some of the do's and don'ts, and explains how best to fit child car seats.
Thanks to the Road Safety Authority for assisting in the making of this video. Further information is available at www.RSA.ie. For information on their 'check it fits' service visit www.rsa.ie/checkitfits

Do you not have to secure the base with seat belt along with the isofix points?

[@MattiHeartsHP]

Realised nobody answered you, but no you don't. ISOFIX is adequate without the seatbelt and unless the manufacturer requires seatbelt too then you could be compromising the safety of your child by using the seat in a way that has not been tested :)

@@MattiHeartsHP Thanks, I wanted to know the same thing, doesn't make sense to have both seatbelt and isofix. Might as well not bother with the isofix and just sue car seat and seatbelt.

[@MattiHeartsHP]

@@DragonXDrei ISOFIX costs more, but is way way safer than seat belt install because it's so much easier. Car seat failure is almost always caused by user error/incorrect or inadequate installation. ISOFIX removes so much of the risk of that because it's so easy to use.

No help at all in fitting forward facing seats. No wonder 3 out of 4 are incorrectly fitted
