Are Cybex ISOFIX bases universal?

No, not all Cybex ISOFIX bases are universal. Although Cybex offers several ISOFIX bases designed to be compatible with a variety of the brand's car seats, each base has its own specificities and is designed to work with certain car seat models. It is essential to check the compatibility of a Cybex ISOFIX base with the car seat you own or are considering buying.

Does my car have the Isofix system?

To determine whether your car is equipped with ISOFIX anchorage points compatible with Maxi-Cosi car seats, follow these steps:

1. Legislative reminder : Since 2011, European legislation has required all new vehicles sold in Europe to be fitted with ISOFIX anchorage points. If your car was manufactured after this date, it should be fitted with this system.
2. Consult your car manual: Even if ISOFIX is compulsory, it's always a good idea to check your vehicle manual for the exact location and availability of the anchorage points.
3. Check physically: ISOFIX anchorage points are generally located between the back of the seat and the seat cushion. You can feel or see them by pulling the seat cushion slightly apart.
4. ISOFIX labels : Some vehicles have ISOFIX labels or symbols on the seats, indicating the presence of anchorage points.

Even if your car is equipped with ISOFIX anchorage points, not all car seats are compatible with all vehicles. Always make sure that the car seat you choose is suitable for your vehicle.
