Where is the ISOFIX interface of the Volkswagen Polo?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with two pairs of ISOFIX fixing rings on the outer rear seats, which are connected to the vehicle body. Child seats with the ISOFIX system can be quickly, conveniently, and safely installed in the car seats. It is recommended to have an adult accompany and care for the child in the rear seat when in use. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Choose the appropriate seat: When traveling with children, it is necessary to use child seats (levels 0-3) suitable for the child's body size and weight to protect them. 2. Only for ISOFIX child seats: The fixing rings should only be used for ISOFIX child seats. 3. Do not attach other items to the fixing rings: Do not attach fastening straps, non-ISOFIX child seats, or any other items to the fixing rings. 4. Do not lock children in the rear seats: Depending on the season, the temperature inside a locked car can become very high or very low. Do not lock children in the rear seats.
As a father of two, I often need to install child safety seats in my Volkswagen Polo. The ISOFIX anchor points are located where the backrest and cushion of the rear seats meet, with a metal ring on each side. It took me quite some time to find them during my first attempt, but later I discovered that the anchors are hidden deep in the seam—you need to lift the cushion slightly with your hand to feel them. My 2019 POLO PLUS doesn't have label stickers for the anchors, but the metal rings are quite noticeable. When installing, you need to push the child seat's connectors firmly until you hear a clear click, which indicates they're properly secured. I recommend clearing any clutter from the rear seats before installation to have more space and make the process easier. Also, note that the middle seat doesn't have ISOFIX anchors—they're only available on the left and right sides, a detail many beginners often get wrong.
