Is the front-facing child seat offered by BMW in their accessories catalogue (the one with no…?
…straps) proven to be safe?
The seat I refer to is the BMW branded Stage II ISOFIX seat for children 9kg+. There are no straps at all, just a thick padded bar which goes across the child’s lap/stomach.
On one hand I can’t believe that BMW would do away with retaining straps without extensive and conclusive research. On the other hand if it is safer, then why do dedicated car seat manufacturers not also offer similarly designed products.

Basically the reviews and test have shown that ISOFIX seats have been proven just as safe as the conventional ones, if not safer. The added benefit would be it’s new concept design which reduced complexity and cause less cases of misuse of the restraining system.
