Where is the GL8 car seat interface located?

In the rear seats of the car, there are generally signs for fixed seats. Currently, there are two main methods for securing child safety seats: the European standard ISOFIX fixing method and the American standard LATCH method. The ISOFIX method features two fixed interfaces for hard connections with child seats. The biggest difference between LATCH and ISOFIX is that the connection method is not a hard link but rather a simultaneous hook connection, and there is one more fixing point than ISOFIX. Additionally, it is important to choose a product suitable for the child's weight and age. Below is the relevant information: 1. Configuration: The Buick GL8 comes standard with an ISOFIX child car seat synchronous installation device, making the installation of the safety seat simple, convenient, stable, and reliable. Moreover, the left rear seat of the car comes with a built-in booster cushion, which can elevate the child for use with the car's seat belt, and includes a dedicated child headrest. For children taller than 115cm, if a child car safety seat is not installed, the seat cushion can be adjusted higher to convert it into a safety seat. 2. Evaluation: As a top-tier MPV model, the Buick GL8 has achieved batch exports with its advantages of luxury, powerful performance, and spacious comfort, and has been hailed by Southeast Asian media as the 'perfect MPV'.
I've been driving the GL8 to pick up and drop off my kids for several years. The child seat anchors are hidden in the crevice between the second-row seat cushions—you'll need to manually separate the junction of the seatback and cushion to spot the two metal hooks, which serve as standard ISOFIX points. I was initially confused during my first installation attempt, but later realized it becomes obvious once you slightly widen the gap. As a family-oriented vehicle, the GL8 is thoughtfully designed with second-row accessibility in mind, allowing tool-free installation. If locating them proves difficult, check for labeled indicators or symbols in the cabin, though consulting the owner's manual is the surest approach. Always listen for the audible 'click' to confirm secure attachment—child safety is paramount, so never compromise due to the concealed location. Anchor positions remain largely consistent across GL8 model years; keeping it simple works best, and removing dust buildup improves visibility.
