In this case, an adult does not have the strength to hold the child, the child will fly out like a bullet.

Seat belt fixed method

Seat belt as a way to fix the child safety seat, the price is generally cheaper, but the installation process is relatively complex. Before installation, according to the child's age and body, weight, etc. to determine whether to install forward or reverse, and then put the child safety seat in the car seat with seat belt fixed.

ISOFIX fixed method

Using the ISOFIX connector fixation is very simple. Align the ISOFIX port of the child seat with the reserved port on the seat and insert it, then stand up the ground support bar. The installation time generally does not exceed 10 minutes. Even for the first-time using parents, as they look at the instructions, the whole installation can be completed.

This fixing method is easy and simple to install, fixed very firmly, and ISOFIX test specifications are higher. However, many cars are not equipped with this special interface, and the price of this kind of safety seats is higher. So you need to carefully confirm your own car before buying this interface!

LATCH fixed method

This installation method is similar to the ISOFIX fixed method, but slightly different. It is worth mentioning that there are relatively few models that use the LATCH fixation method.

That is to say, the LATCH interface must be able to install the ISOFIX interface, but if only has the ISOFIX interface, can not use the LATCH interface.

The LATCH fixed method is safe and convenient, more tight and solid. However, because it uses a soft connection, the installation needs to be checked frequently after the installation for its firmness.
