Q
Quentin McMullen
Pardon my ignorance,
I had hoped to get the latch system installed in a 2000 Volvo v40. A
friend has said Volvo is doing this for free, but 2 dealers have told
me (after some confusion) that Volvo installs ISOFIX (not latch?) and
that the 2000 v40 cannot be retrofit for ISOFIX. A third dealer said
he could install a tether, but I think he meant only the top tether,
not not the two hooks at the seat botton. Two questions:
1. Is it true that we are stuck using the seatbelt to hold in the car
seat?
2. Am I correct that the LATCH system is different than the ISOFIX
system, so that if a friend's car has ISOFIX, a carseat with the latch
system (hooks on straps) would still need to be held in place with the
seat belt?
Kind Regards,
--Quentin
