Can a Cybex car seat be used without a base?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, Cybex car seats can be used without the <\/span>ISOFIX base<\/span><\/a> by securing the seat to your vehicle using the seatbelt, or in some cases, the Cybex car seat may have built-in ISOFIX points without the need for a base. To find out more, keep reading, and it\u2019ll all become crystal clear so you have the confidence to travel in a vehicle with your little bundle of joy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is ISOFIX?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ISOFIX<\/span><\/a> is an international standardised car seat fitting system that reduces the risk of fitting a car seat incorrectly. It automatically locks your car seat or car seat base into the two ISOFIX points built within the seat of your vehicle. It makes installing a car seat quick and easy with a simple click-and-go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some car seats have ISOFIX points built into them, which means you don\u2019t need an ISOFIX base to attach them to the ISOFIX points in your car. For car seats that don\u2019t have this built-in, you will need to use a base if you want to attach your car seat to the ISOFIX points in your vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Does my car have ISOFIX?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

ISOFIX points were first used in cars in 1997; by 2001, most cars had them, and by 2013 it was a legal requirement that all new cars were fitted with ISOFIX points. The chances are your car probably has ISOFIX points, but if you\u2019re not sure, check the date of your car or look for the ISOFIX labels between the base and back of your car seats and have a feel around for them; they feel like two metal hooks hidden behind your seat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
