What does the ISOFIX interface in a car look like?

In a car, the ISOFIX interface actually refers to the two connection points located between the seat back and the seat cushion. Here is more information: 1. Advantages of the ISOFIX interface in a car. It is easy to operate, safe, and reliable. Installation and removal take only about a minute. The ISOFIX hard interface has high strength, which can more effectively limit the displacement of the child safety seat during a crash. 2. Introduction to car child safety seats. A car child safety seat, also known as a Child Restraint System (CRS), is a seat specifically designed for children of different ages, installed in the car to effectively improve child passenger safety. ISOFIX is a type of child restraint system that connects to the vehicle, ensuring the safety of children during travel.
After buying my car, I only found out where the ISOFIX interface was when I installed a child safety seat for the first time. It's located in the gap between the backrest and the seat cushion on both sides of the rear seats, appearing as two small U-shaped metal hooks, usually in silver-gray or black, made of sturdy material that doesn’t wobble. Installation felt simple: align the hooks of the child seat and secure them, clicking into place. Many new cars are cleverly designed, some even hiding the hooks under plastic covers that need to be gently flipped open to be seen. The position is about 30 cm above the ground, with little difference between SUVs and sedans. The first time I used it, I was amazed how such a small feature made the safety seat so stable—far more reliable than the old seatbelt method. I strongly recommend parents learn to locate and use it.
