Maxi cosi easybase/easyfix isofix???

Question

does anybody know what the difference is between these two car seat bases?

Answer 1

A Maxi-Cosi Easy Base (Non ISOFIX) is an easy to install car seat base for connecting the CabrioFix baby car seat, allowing babies up to 13 kg (29lbs) to travel rearward facing in the front or rear of most cars.

ISOFIX stands for "International Standards Organisation FIX". It is a standard for installing child seats into cars and is intended to make fitting child seats quick and simple.

When cars are manufactured, ISOFIX points are built into them. Child seat manufacturers also build ISOFIX fitting points on their child seats. This will enable ISOFIX child seats to be simply plugged into the ISOFIX points in the car.

ISOFIX is an essential development because many people find it difficult to fit child seats correctly, and many surveys have found that a high proportion of the child seats are not fitted securely enough.

Most child seats are currently designed to be fitted by using a car's adult lap and diagonal seat belt (or sometimes, just a lap belt). However, car seats, seat belts, and their anchorages vary dramatically between different models of cars. Car seats have different shapes; some seat belts are much shorter than others, the position of the anchor points differs so some are further forward or have shorter stalks than others. All these factors make it virtually impossible to make a child car seat that fits all cars, and sometimes tricky to fit a child car seat correctly.

Basically the ISOFIX is the best and safest way to secure a child car seat.
