I-SIZE is European Union Regulation 129, so it is also called R129. It is the latest child safety seat standard issued by the European Union. It is the highest, strictest and latest regulatory standard in the safety seat industry Only through the I-size certification of the safety seat, can be posted identification label and certification stickers, through the certification label number can be found on the official website related certification information.

What is I-SIZE?
I-SIZE is the latest European Union standard for child safety seats. It is based on the existing ECE R44 standard. It is a pre-seat test that unilaterally tests for frontal and rear impacts According to the real data, most traffic accidents are caused by side impact, so i-size is designed specifically for the detection of side impact, which is a new item that the previous tests do not have. I-size also adds the side impact into the test, and adopts a fixed mode The grouping standards have been adjusted and updated to become a higher standard of safety seat testing.
Why do we use I-SIZE?
1. Use ISOFIX to fix, reduce the risk of wrong installation
At present, there are three ways to fix the safety seat: vehicle-mounted three-point seat belt ISOFIX LATCH mainly uses vehicle-mounted seat belt and ISOFIX device to fix the two installation methods. As long as they pass the test certification and are installed correctly, it is no problem to ensure the safety of children But there are also a lot of differences between them, for example, the ISOFIX fixed mode is easier to operate and not easy to make mistakes while the car seat belt is more complex to operate, not easy to install, which is easy to lead to many parents do not know whether the seat is installed correctly.
2. Added side impact test, the most comprehensive protection
3. Grouped by height, the most accurate choice
4. Backward extension to 15 months of age, is the scientific approach
5. Test the dummy update
I-SIZE fixed mode
The I-size safety seat must be mounted on the vehicle (other than the Stage 3 seat) with an anti-roll-over device (pull-up belt or support leg) via the ISOFIX rigid interface. The ISOFIX+ supporting leg fixed safety seat is classified as a general type safety seat.
Highlights, popularly summarized as three points:
(1): Seat belt fastening and Latch soft link safety seat, not i-size seat!
(2):In the use of ISOFIX interface fixed at the same time, the need for vehicle-mounted safety belt auxiliary installation, not I-size seat!
(3): Safety seat forward is ISOFIX fixed, reverse need auxiliary safety belt fixed, not I-size seat!
I-size can be understood as a complete, generic, and ISOFIX type strengthened child member constraint system.
Self-contained: refers to the safety seat, through the built-in protection device (five-point safety belt, three-point safety belt, front protection body), the child is fixed in the safety seat.
General: It refers to the safety seat, which can be used in most models on the market
ISOFIX type: emphasizes that the child safety seat is fixed on the car through the ISOFIX system.
