Personally I think the ISOFIX system is overkill.
If your seat is new and your seat belts are in good order then the best thing anyone can do is take care on the road. (I found riding a motorbike the best aid to spotting potential accidents). Sounds obvious but its pretty difficult to do!
I also think "baby onboard" signs are fairly stupid and a waste of time
"OH I wont crash into this car cos there's a baby onboard" or
"Lets spend another 2 hours searching the crash area for the missing baby, there must have been one on board"

The 'little princess' on board sign....should read 'little shit that has thrown up and smeared crisps, jam and chocolate down the back of the seat'

good god NO!!! im not ever going to use those stupid signs...

might get some kind of sign...but it would have to be a good one...

''my other car dosent have 5 cylinders''...................

''my other car is shit to''...............

never had a motorbike but learned more about awareness from cycling through traffic for 10 years on pedally bikes than i ever learned from my driving instructor..
