Do ISOFIX carseats fit all ISOFIX cars?

[LadyTophamHatt]

I can't do the seat cheack online because our car (Ford S-MAX) isn't on the list.

oh come on, someone tell me.

I've had the shittiest day in ever and can't be arsed to search.....

bump - haven't a clue sorry!

Thansk bigpants.

someone crashed into the back of us on the way home from eastbourne today, hence the shitty day. had been to met lizzombie for a cuppa so it was all good until we came home

I've had a stinking headache since it happened and I feel qiute murderous....

oh no! sorry you had a crappy end to your day! Were you all ok though?
( and at meetup without me! )

I am pretty sure the Britax ones fit all cars though some models need a top tether too. The Maxi cosi ones DO NOT fit all cars.
Will try to find out more.

yes all ok, well i assume anyway.
ds4 has been screaming all afternoon, I hope its not because of the accident.

he's fine if he's being entertained.

Now need anew car seat because it was his 1st day in the big forward facing chair. No visible damage to it (or our car, the other car was F*cked though. Our tow bar took the full force) but they say to changea carseat if its been in aaccident, don't they?

This is why I need to know aboutt the ISOFIX thing....

oh thanks skyler, that will be great....

Sorry you had a bad day
I think all isofix seats are compatible with all isofix systems BUT some require an extra top tether or 'foot' depending on the car. Check with the seat manufacturer - I think Britax state what you need on their website hth

our car isn't listed on the britas website claire.

Its most annoying because I think a bit of retail therepy would make me feel 100000 times better.

Is it a Ford Focus S-max??

I have found the Ford Focus S-max 2006 + on the britax site???

No, Just S-max.

Its the new 7seater thingamijig.

hmmmmmmmm

will look now too

Right I have got the blurb from our Isofix carseat in the car and there are only 2 Ford's on it. Sorry I appear to have misled you.....

That is utterly crap isn't it? The Focus S-max had no isofix matches I am afraid.

The info that came with our car seat is from nearly two years ago, so no S-Max then. Sorry I am not actually helping. It doesn't look good for the Britax one then.......

aha, just lloked atthe Frod website and according to that the Britax Romer fits.

Stupily it says in the accesories bit "various carseats...blah blah blah" but doesn't say what ones.

grrrrrr.

ds4 is now alseep.

OH FFS.

and the britax romer isn't on the UK britax site.

god, I feel like killing someone ATM.

I have no idea loopy.

my head feel like its about to explode...I can't even think straight!

Thansk loopy. I've given up trying to make sense of it now.

Will look again tomorrow, also need to check with the insurnace to see if its covered too. I asked earlier but DH is doubting me() and so I wantto make sure it will be.

OK Lady here we go...Loopy was talking about me and my S-Max!!

I've had the Britax and the Maxi-Cosi isofix seats fit checked today and.........

The Britax fits, the Maxi-Cosi doesn't!!!!

More details...

Britax have 2, the duo and the explora. Fundamentally the same seat but the explora is a bit newer therefore comfier and has the extra stability leg (idea developed and proved useful by Maxi-Cosi). They are however keeping the duo because it fits more cars...the reason being...the leg!!!and also why the Maxi_cosi Priori fix doesn't fit the S-max. Our cars have under floor storage infront of both isofix seats. The leg on the Maxi-Cosi needs to go onto the bottom of the under storage area and the leg isn't long enough where as the Britax Explora leg can be positioned in such a way that it doesn't need to go into the storage box.[annoyed emoticon]

So to cut a long story short...The Britax Duo and the Britax Explora fit, the Maxi-Cosi Priori-fix does not fit!!!

If you need any more info, you can email me at [email protected]

aha, I was just coming back to this thread to say a similar thing Chilledmama.
I called the Ford dealer where we boughthe car and he did the reserch for me.

Our Dup Plus should be here tomorrow!!
