Regulations and Standards Explained
Terminology Explained...
-
i-Size is the name given to seats that have specific features that are designed to be compatible with i-Size cars, to avoid misfitting. An i-Size car seat will fit into an i-Size car. All i-Size seats have passed the R-129 regulation and are designed to keep your child rearward facing for longer have better side impact protection and make car seats easier to fit correctly.

Extended Rearward Facing seats are proven to be safer for younger children in a collision. That’s why we have developed our ERF collection to protect children up to 18kg (approx. 4 years old), for excellent value and safety.
Rearward Facing is a term used when your child's car seat is positioned to face the back of the vehicle seat on which the car seat is sitting. The child in a rearward facing seat is positioned looking towards the boot of the car.
-
Belted
Cosatto offer a selection of car seats, some of which can be installed using the adult seat belt in the car. Please ensure you check our Car Seat Fit Checker prior to purchasing to make sure the car seat is compatible with your vehicle.
-
ISOFIX is a child car seat attachment system that uses metal anchor points built into the chassis of the car. The ISOFIX connectors from the baby or child car seat fit onto these.
-
Support Leg
The support leg works together with the ISOFIX points, to ensure a secure fit and to prevent the seat from tipping and rotating in a collision. The support leg is located at the base of the seat and needs to be extended to the car’s floor. Remember to check that your vehicle doesn’t have underfloor storage before installing a seat with a leg support. If it does, you may need to consider a seat with a top tether as a safer option.
-
Top Tether
The top tether works together with the ISOFIX points, to ensure a secure fit and to prevent the seat from tipping and rotating in a collision. The top tether is located at the top of the seat and has an adjustable strap and clip that you attach to the tether point in your car. Ensure you check your vehicle handbook to see where the top tether anchorage points are located.
