Factors to Consider

Installation
When considering the compatibility of the car and the child car seat, it is also crucial to take into account the installation factory, which becomes particularly significant when parents actively use the car seat in their daily lives.
Correct installation of the seat ensures safe journeys. When using a car seat, it is important for the parent to pay attention and install it correctly. Even a minor oversight in detail can affect the overall level of safety.

The Isofix system securely attaches the child car seat directly to the car's attachment points, ensuring a high level of safety and installation stability.
Safety

Successful completion of these tests and the presence of certificates significantly simplify the selection process for parents.
