An Isofix point provides a secure way to mount a child seat into a car and it’s something that many people interact with every day when putting small ones into a vehicle.Â
While most cars come with two of these mounting points, finding a car with three has traditionally been quite tricky.
However, in recent times, cars with three Isofix mounting points have become more commonplace and here, we’re going to be checking out the best.
The Skoda Superb is a car which feels as though it has been designed specifically for families. With its large boot, it’s got loads of luggage space and there’s the option of either hatchback or even more spacious estate versions, too. You’ve also got a great range of engines to choose from.
The good news from an Isofix point, however, is that there are three separate mounting points with two in the rear and an additional one at the front passenger seat. It gives you some added flexibility, that’s for sure.
The big Santa Fe has been a core part of Hyundai’s range for a long time, but the most recent version has arrived with arguably one of the most striking car designs that we’ve seen enter the motoring segment. With its hybrid powertrains, the Santa Fe is also pretty efficient given its size.
On a more practical front, the Santa Fe provides seating space for up to seven people and it actually manages to offer four Isofix mounting points, so it’s great for even bigger families.
Kia has been on a roll with its electric models of late and the EV9 acts as the firm’s flagship battery-powered SUV. It’s got a range of up to 349 miles, too, and thanks to 350kW charging, it can go from 10 to 80% in 24 minutes.
Like the Santa Fe, it also has an impressive four Isofix child seat mounting points, ideal if you’re transporting a larger family or a bigger group of children.
The big ID.Buzz feels like the ideal family-friendly electric car. Styled on the original Volkswagen ‘bus’, the Buzz has loads of charm which is backed up by a flexible and spacious interior. You can get it in standard and long-wheelbase layouts, too, as well as five-, six-, and seven-seater configurations.
As standard, it comes with four Isofix child seat mounting points, too. Because of the Buzz’s spacious interior and handy sliding doors, actually putting those seats in place will be a breeze compared to more ‘conventional’ cars.
If you’re after something a little more rugged, then the Land Rover Discovery remains a very solid choice. Not only does it have space for up to seven people, but it’s also packed with technology, including a host of off-road features that’ll get you where you need to go no matter the conditions.
Wide-opening doors can help to make mounting a child seat a little easier, too, and it packs an incredible five Isofix mounting points. It’s the most you’ll get from any car on sale at the moment, in fact.
Citroen’s C5 Aircross has always offered the kind of comfort that can help to make everyday driving a little more pleasant. With clever suspension, the C5 Aircross practically glides across potholes and that is sure to keep the whole family happy.
You’ll find Isofix child seat mounting points on the two outer rear chairs as well as the front passenger one, too. With its robust materials, the C5 Aircross is the kind of car that’ll take family life in its stride.
As a more traditional hatchback, the Cupra Leon is the kind of car that has kept families moving for decades. This latest car, however, gets lots of standard equipment and in typical Cupra fashion, has a sportier driving experience than many of its key rivals.
It’s got a big boot, too, which should be able to handle plenty of shopping or travel bags.
