ISOFIX is still very over rated in my opinion and has taken the nursery industry ages to move anywhere on it as all the car manufacturers were all doing it in their own kind of way and trying to stop other people from making carseats that could use their systems. Main reason being is that a seat that is fixed correctly using a lap and diagonal belt gives just as good a fit, the main thing that ISOFIX gives is it makes it more idiot proof, as most carseats are actually fitted incorrectly in the UK.

But it is slowly growing and becoming more main stream, I guess maybe in 10 years or so all cars will have it as standard, but it will take time over here as both industries move so slow.....

but hey thats all my views from working in the nursery industry
