Retrofitting ISOFIX child seat fittings to an older car

Now you can buy strong metal ISOFIX universal brackets to fit ISOFIX child seats to an old car that didn't come with ISOFIX, such as this 2003 year Freelander. Useful when you have kids to transport. Use your own common sense to decide if this is for you and whether it is strong enough and safe enough as obviously it hasn't passed any official tests. Personally I think the metal is thick enough to be strong and safe enough, similar to a modern car. The extra tip/stage at the end makes the base super firmly fitted, probably more so than a modern car fitting.
The wind was blowing a lot while doing this video, which I did my best to filter out with software, but it does intrude now and again, so please forgive this, I hope it doesn’t distract you from the content.
The ISOFIX brackets can be bought on:
Amazon (most countries): amzn.to/3qaqSnc
Amazon Uk specifically: amzn.to/3QhGlwg
Ebay UK: ebay.us/ho71AM
Ebay USA: ebay.us/jzCxLl
For drilling some holes in the bracket, a set of cobalt drill bits make it a lot easier:
Amazon (most countries): amzn.to/3OE7JDv
If you also need the actual electric drill, there are many on Amazon in the following link, I would recommend an 18v cordless one: amzn.to/3rK9fuH

Thank you still haven't done it yet but I'm planning it out and working on clearing out my trunk...now that my sons 8 years old it's a bit late now and he's acually in a booster seat now. But he's proof that the old school seat belt strapped through the carseat works just fine too. Just sucks cus I paid like an extra 60$ for my carseat to have the isofix quick release latch and the one without it was so much cheaper but identical. I never even used the isofix, just some reason thought that if it coats more than it must be better ot safer and I've come to learn the hard way that's not completely true

Great video. Do you know if this would work on a 2009 hyunday tucson? They seem to have plastic backing to the back seats.

Thanks, not sure but their frame is probably metal. Youu will have to make your own mind up.

Just wondering how confident you’d be in a collision with this? I’m trying to decide between forking out a small fortune for replacement seats with Isofix or going down this route?! I can see the sturdiness when you try moving it by hand but just wonder how it would fair between 30-70mph. Do you know what kind of testing has been done with them? Does it have some kind of approval?

This is where a bit of common sense comes in. You just have to look at it and make your mind up whether it is strong enough or not. Personally I am happy that it is strong enough and probably as good as any normal fitted isofix, especially with the extra attachment screws to the seat metal. I do not see any tests or approval, which would not be possible as each car is different.

Hi, would this work in the front seat? Nissan micra Thanks

Probably, look at your seat, however I think child seats should be in the rear.
