Adding an Isofix to an Older Car

Cptralls

Hi All,
I have a 2007 Audi A4 that I want to add an Isofix to the back seat. I have checked this and it does not seem to have any slots for an Isofix, can the car be adjusted to fit one?

Get a Child seat with an ISO FIX base.

We have been bought a child seat with the Isofix but it doesn't look like it will connect to the car.

This thread on another forum seems to have the same question about a 2007 A4 - unusually, the OP actually comes back with part numbers when they seem to have found out what to buy: https://www.askaboutmoney.com/threads/isofix-fittings-on-an-audi-a4-2007-advice-wanted.145743/

ISOFIX doesn't actually make a seat any more secure, or protect the occupant any more. It just makes it easier to fit and remove and move between cars.

Is that something you're going to be doing often?

No, it'll mostly be in one car.

If you've already bought the seat, it probably makes sense to buy a single bracket and have it fitted.

Is that difficult to add?

Buy a non-Isofix seat, then.

Looks like it's about £60 in parts, then a couple of bolts but you need to take the seat base off.

Still probably cheaper than replacing the car seat.
