There are some key differences between European and American car seat car seats, one of the most obvious being the adoption of the European ISOfix This was recommended by the United Nations and used by European nations in the 1990s road safety NHTSA National Highway administration has chosen not to use this system, focusing more exclusively on the LATCH system, because it is likely that the support leg would be misused if installation requires other measures parent company 1.
There are two ISOfix standards because it takes so long for auto and car seat manufacturers to develop and agree on new standards it's universal and semi-universal or specific vehicle c 'is load leg comes it was introduced in 1997 has become the standard in 2004, and in June 2006 all car seats had to meet this standard in February 2011, it is required by law that the system must be incorporated in all new cars.
Universal ISOfix requires three anchor points of two latches at the rear and an upper fastening for stopping the seat projects forwardly during a collision.
Isofix semi-universal requires both latches at the rear, then a third anchorage point which is not a top tether That is the supporting leg comes in this support leg is basically what the upper attachment fact; it is more important that your car can take There is a debate about what is a safer characteristic, but they do the same work, and neither party has come to a real conclusion.
Typically, you buy the base separately from the car seat in Europe using Britax as an example, they sell two car seats bases baby There BABY-SAFE ISOFIX Base and belted base BABY-SAFE all two support leg as the third option anchor.
Thus, in a system or a seat belt system nutshell European standards LATCH another anchor an attachment leg or upper load.
Car seats US baby can not be used in Europe as they do not usually have a third anchor.
If you use the seat belt to the installation and not the Isofix system, the right path to face forward must be clearly marked in red and rear facing must be marked in blue.
The loop on the seat must be operational by a button or similar device This must only lock when all parts are in it The button must be red and no other part of the loop can be in this color and is usually a lighter color such as gray or white This makes it easier for emergencies This means that there is nO safe chest clips are a controversial security feature in American and Canadian car seats This will give you a brief overview of the reasons why people do not like the chest clips.
I would note that there is less Britax convertible car seats in Britain that there is in the US They also have an upper and lower starting weight ending weight as ours.
Note the differences between the belts on both seats Cybex Aton represented left They are the same exact car seat, with a few differences that make them easily identifiable origin.
Frontal Impact The car seat is loaded into a vehicle and a push by 15,400 pounds of reinforced concrete at 31 mph.
A rear shock 8ft by 5ft two rigid steel impactor is pushed to the rear of the vehicle at 20 mph.
Turning the vehicle is driven by rotation of 2-5 degrees per second when upside down, the head should not move more than 12 inches from its original position.
Seat belt The seat belt must be fastened and unfastened 5,000 times after the impact tests to ensure that it works yet.
AMERICAN STANDARD TEST According to the site Evenflo, a US company, US car seat safety standards require a frontal impact test with a 30 mile shift on time This approximation collision forces generated in a collision between a vehicle moving 60 mph and a parked car or isobaric energy produced in a fall from a three-story building There is no provision in the US and Canadian standards for side impact test administration national security of the United States HTA NHTSA is in the early stages of developing a side impact test standard child 3.
During my research, I discovered that neither Europe or the American side impact tests, but I do find that the United States does not require the test results for display manufacturers can display their results if they wish, but it is not required by law or the car seats or they pass t, and is the manufacturer to prove how safe their car seat is compared to others.

Hi Sharon We are not really familiar with European cars, so you will need to do research on the specific car to determine if they were suitable anchor points for your seats If it helps at all in your research in the EU LATCH system known as Isofix, so you'll want to look it.
Hi Chelsea, I ask you to clarify that the American version of Cybex Aton 2 can be used legally in the UK we soon new parents who live in the States but visit family in the UK and perhaps relocating back to the UK in the next 6 months, we really do not want to charge you to buy two baby seats Thank you.
