Oyster3 Travel System

Hi everyone, I have scoured the net for the answer to my question but just cannot find it. I have bought the travel system however I am confused with the car seat and ISOfix. I have fitted the ISOfix fine into my car (Land Rover Evoque), and the car seat fits nicely on top - however I am really confused as to where the seat belt goes........ I think the part of the seat belt that goes over the lap goes over the car seat, and then you tuck the remaining seat belt behind the car seat (this is how I familiar with the process with nieces and nephews)

My question: Do I need the seat belt if I have the ISOfix? Reason being is that the seat belt is not long enough for me to do what I have described above!!

Any help appreciated. We have our newborn now, but have not ventured into the car yet, partially because of this reason and I am unsure!

Thank you in advance!!

No you don't need the seat belt if you have the isofix :)

Thank you, that's really helpful! We have now been into the car, knowing our little boy is safe in his car seat.. although he got scared when he woke up in it and it was dark...

Yep that's right - you install using isofix or seatbelt, not both.

You can use the seatbelt method if you need to use the car seat in another car. If the seatbelt isn't long enough, tip the seat up in order to get it around the back and then squish it down into the correct place. You can't skip the belt around the back as it wouldn't be secure.
