Finding out if a car has ISOFIX

[Koofler]

I'm working away from home and need to find out if my car has ISOFIX points. I've asked SWMBO to look but being a non-driver she doesn't really know what she's looking for. It's a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD, first registered in 2003. From what I can see online, this was the year the points were introduced but I'm not 100% sure and can't say I've ever had the need to look before now.

Do any fellow PH'ers drive one of these and know the answer?

Thanks!

Assuming she has a digital camera, tell her to take a picture of where the rear seat backs join the bases and look yourself?

Tried that but without any useful results...... There was something there but I wouldn't bet on it being fixing points.

Hmm, I'd guess it doesn't have it if it's not clear. Usually they're pretty bloody obvious.

Another option - tell her to rear the handbook? If the car has Isofix, it will probably have a section on how to use it.

Just get her to put her hand in between the seats and if she finds a pair of metal loops either side then it will have them. However, speak to a Jeep dealership and give them the reg number and ask if they can be fitted retrospectively. I did this with a volvo xc70, only cost £40 for both rear seats

The maxi cosi web site has an isofix checker

They can't always be seen. Our Audi A6 had quite plump leather and the loops were buried inbetween the back rest and seat.

Tell her to have a feel instead of a look.
