Hope I've put this in the right place... if anyone can suggest a better one where I'd get more traffic ('scuse the pun), feel free!
My car is an older Nissan Micra, T-Reg 1991 model. I discovered today, much to my shock, that it does in fact have Isofix points. I'd been working on the assumption that it didn't until the helpful Babies R'Us lady pointed them out to me!
However, she said it's worth checking whether the Isofix points are safe to use. She knows that anything after 2006 is fine by default, but prior to that it depends on the make/model of the car. I've tried looking online but can find nothing about this particular model. Basically, we can't get any of the seatbelt/cabriofix-style car seat bases into our car because of the angle of the rear seats and good old 'buckle crunch', so having the option of Isofix would open things up for us.
Anyone have the same make/model car, or know where I could find this info re: the Isofix suitability?
The only other option is to have a seat without a base which we'd have to secure with a seatbelt each time. Fortunately my car is quite roomy (for a small'un) and the lady did demonstrate it; it was very easy and straightforward, just took a few seconds, but I'd prefer a clicky base because I'm lazy.
