one website i read the isofix just makes the seats safer when the child isn't in it.

We read the reports and went for the Maxi Cosi Rodi - had it from Boots and its fab. Very easy to fit and take out when needed. DS is slight in build/height but still fine for him.

OK, this is the extra bit for the Evolva:

"A highly-rated seat that performed well in our safety tests, this Best Buy from Britax is very similar to the Evolva 2/3 ISOFIT model, except it's not secured to the car with Isofix mounts.
Our experts thought this seat was suitable for children aged 4 to 12. There are good instructions and it's easy to carry.
As it isn't secured in with the Isofix system, it might fly around on your back seat when your child isn't sitting in it ? a minor complaint for an otherwise excellent seat which our testers praised for its high finish quality.
Pros: Safe, good instructions, easy to carry, covers are easily washable
Cons: Not Isofix
