What does an ISOFIX interface look like?

The ISOFIX interface has the word 'ISOFIX' on it, and its icon resembles a person sitting on a seat. 1. Description of the ISOFIX interface: There are two interfaces at the connection between the car seat backrest and the seat cushion, which are the ISOFIX interfaces. This is a rigid connection method designed to prevent seat flipping during a collision. Some seats also come with support legs and other anti-flip devices in addition to the ISOFIX interfaces. 2. Function: The ISOFIX interface can securely connect a child car safety seat to the car, providing a simpler and safer way to install the car seat. Installing a seat using ISOFIX is easier than using a seatbelt and can effectively reduce the risk of incorrect installation, significantly lowering the probability of installation errors. 3. Fixation methods: In addition to the ISOFIX interface fixation method, there are also the LATCH fixation method (American standard) and the seatbelt fixation method. The location of the LATCH interface varies depending on the vehicle model. For sedans, it is usually located behind the rear seat headrest, while for hatchbacks, it is typically on the back of the rear seat. The LATCH fixation method is also simple, adding hooks to the ISOFIX method. After fixing with the ISOFIX method, the hooks are secured. In a true sense, the most secure and safest installation is achieved by combining the LATCH interface with the ISOFIX interface.

I often help friends check car safety features, and the ISOFIX interface design is very intuitive. On the rear seats of most cars, you can find two silver U-shaped metal bars embedded in the gap between the seatback and cushion. They're about the thickness of a finger, with a smooth and hard surface. Connecting them is like snapping onto a hook system—simple and reliable. The location varies slightly between car models; some are hidden deeper and require a mirror to locate. This thing is the gold standard for child seats, eliminating the hassle of seatbelt straps—just align and click during installation. Since its widespread adoption after 2000, accident rates have dropped, proving the importance of details.
