How do I know if the car seat fits in my car?

Before you buy your child car seat, it is important to make sure that it is compatible with your car. There are three different ways to install a child car seat: ISOFIX mounting, base mounting and belt mounting.

ISOFIX mounting

Isofix mounting is a quick and safe way to install a child seat! You avoid the hassle of using the seat belt, and at the same time reduce the risk of the child seat being installed incorrectly.

Base mounting

A base is installed using either the car's three-point seat belt or ISOFIX mounts. The installation works a little differently depending on the model - but once the base is installed, you can easily click the infant car seat or car seat onto the base.

Belt assembly

Don't have ISOFIX mounts in your car? No problem! What you need is a baby seat or a car seat that can be belt-mounted – which is just as safe as ISOFIX!

Regulations for child car seats – R44, R129 and the Plus test

The R129 safety standard, also known as i-Size, sets high safety requirements for the design and use of child car seats. An important feature introduced with the R129 standard is the use of the child's height as a criterion for choosing the right child car seat. In addition, R129 requires that child car seats must be compatible with the car's ISOFIX mountings, which allows for a stable and secure installation without having to use the car's seat belts. This reduces the risk of incorrect installation and thereby increases the safety of the child.

R44

The R44 safety standard was introduced around the 1980s – a major milestone in improving the safety of children in car seats. Since then, it has undergone several updates to keep up with technological advances and safety research.

The difference between R44 and R129 is that R44 does not take into account the child's height, which does not provide optimal protection. Therefore, R44 has gradually been replaced by the more modern and comprehensive i-Size standard (R129), which uses the child's height as the main criterion for choosing a car seat.

Plus test

The Plus test is a voluntary test carried out on seats for the Swedish market. During the Plus test, the child car seat is exposed to extreme conditions that exceed the requirements set by the official safety standards, such as R44 and R129. This includes demanding side and rear collisions, which are the most risky scenarios in car accidents.

Although the Plus test is voluntary, it has become increasingly popular among car seat manufacturers and has led to more and more seats being subjected to this extra level of rigorous testing to ensure the best possible safety for children.
