My husband and I are needing to buy a new car seat for our toddler. She is currently in a Britax Group 1 with a 5-point harness, which we would like to put our growing son into so we need a replacement seat for her. Our dilemma is, do we go for an ISOFix seat or a Group 1-2-3, which don't come with ISOFix. The dilemma hinges on the answer to the following question: are the ISOFix seats more vulnerable to a side-impact? My husband seems to think that in a side-impact collision, a child seat mounted using the ISOFix fittings will hold the child in the path of the colliding vehicle whereas if the child seat is fixed using a seat belt, there will be some give, thus allowing the child some limited ability to move with the impact. Any experts out there with any thoughts on this?
