Technical Isofix seats

[Anjellik]

My mum is getting a Panda 1.1 Eco Active and I need a car seat for it. I'm looking at a Britax Isofix seat as I have one in my own car. Checking on the Britax site the Isofix seat they recommend looks like a new version of the one I have which is the Duo Plus. The new version is the Safefix Plus which retails at £249 but the Duo Plus which I have is £149 but they don't show it on their site as being suitable for the Fiat Panda.

My question is does anyone have a Duo Plus Isofix seat in their Panda? And if so does it need a top tether?

Thanks

The panda doesn't have ISO Fix (thats most probably why they dont list it.) unless you have opted for Split Fold rear seats, which is a extra cost item.

The only panda to have ISO Fix as standard is the 100hp.

Hope this helps

Thanks that helps loads, didn't realise they didn't have Isofix have standard.

Cheers

I believe the Eleganza and those with the sliding seat option specified also had ISOFIX....

when did this happen? the 2004 eleganza had them as standard, and i thought from the end of that year all the pandas got them as standard.

no nessecarily, model year changes, upgrades, spec adjustments, and while some bits get added, like colour coded bumpers, others like the isofix, may be dropped from parts of the range. i'm sure some people had cars later on where even the black vinyl on the b-pillar had been omitted!

According to this website http://www.buyacar.co.uk/search/new...ilter=429&filter=1113&filter=2124&fitler=2124 and click on E for standard equipment under seats it does say "Isofix child seat preparation". For the Panda Active.

My 2008 Dynamic lacks the black vinyl b-pillar trim and the "oh ****" handles above the doors, both front and rear.

My 09 Active does not have Isofix. Nor did the MJ Dynamic in the showroom.
