- Isofix buckle too big
- child restraint uses rigid fixed isofix connectors
- webbing between child restraint and isofix buckle is too long
- stabilising bar is too vertical
NOTE : Should the Isofix installation be considered unsafe, the traditional seat belt installation will be used with a locking clip.
Mico ap Vs Mico Ap Isofix capsule
The only difference between the isofix and non isofix version is the ISOFIX connectors. As noted in the paragraph above; there are a number of issues with Isofix system, preventing a secure installation. Since the introduction of Isofix, experience has shown the only cars where Mico Ap isofix works is when the isofix attachment points are recessed by at least 3.5cm.
The Mico AP Isofix capsule cannot be recommended and does not add any value to safety. If you require Isofix capsule hire then you are better off the the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus.
