1. The child safety seat Glossary

is a kind of child safety seats designed for different body weight (or age) designed for children, the child restraint seat in the security, can effectively improve the child restraint seat.

2.ISO FIX Interface Description

For most people, a child seat but it is still not quite understand. Ever since Europe began to develop ISO FIX shortly, followed by the United States launched the LATCH child safety seat interface standards, in addition to a seat belt interface to fixed mode. So in the end it is kind of how their standards? And how to go respectively? Today we take a look at the criteria for child seat interface.

● ISO FIX interfaces

ISO FIX all known (International Standards Organization FIX) system child safety seat, the child safety seat system in Europe established in 1990 and implementation of standards for child seats. Because Europe is to develop ISO FIX standard, so most European models have ISO FIX child safety seat system as standard equipment; domestic and European brands European joint venture to produce cars in both ISO FIX child safety seat fixing system interfaces marked .

As long as we see in the back seat there is a clear mark of ISO FIX, we can clearly understand that rear child seats with the European standards; Another point is more obvious, ISO FIX standard interfaces using a two-seat mode, considering space problems rear seatThe final total for the four interfaces. (This refers to the car, MPV or SUV will vary 7)

was first enacted because the standard ISO FIX child safety seat fixation of the market at that time different, and some use crossbody strap, belt use only fixed some time, resulting in different models such as the different seats, seat belts, fixed in different ways resulting in a fixed position of the child seat, with the result that the child seat can not play the desired effect; in order to break this problem to develop ISO FIX standard is especially important.

3.LATCH child seat Interface Description

LATCH called the “Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren”. In the United States since September 1, 2002 requires that all models equipped with LATCH child safety seat interfaces, LATCH using three fixed-point manner in which the two joints in the seat cushion and seat back, and the third in the rear seat head restraints . Wherein the interface will have a rear seat headrest hook LOGO logo.

From the design perspective, LATCH standard ISO FIX child seat can use the function, in turn, would not be compatible with ISO FIX LATCH function, since one less top hook up.

4. The difference LACTH and ISO FIX

● or inseparable ISO FIX difference between LACTH?

we can see by the following figure (child safety seats), LATCH child standard seat fixing upper and lower two points, a fixed point is a hook with a similar fixing belt, the fixing point has two projections to the (black) interface, is easy to identify; ISO FIX only while projecting the two ( black fixed point) interface, comprehensive comparison of what we were easily out at the LATCH and ISO fIX difference lies in the number of interfaces and distributed locations.

5. webbing Interface Description

● seat belt

seat belt interface mode is actually interface way the car itself, it has a very good compatibility, can be used with different types of child seat or a different standard models. In China, the vast majority of child car seats with seat belts manner that is simple to use and convenient.

the seat belt is fixedly embodiment the child seat is currently the most used, it can support the child seat is fixed positive direction (the child seat faces the front of the seat), may be a fixed support in the opposite direction (rearward facing child seat seat) two forms.
