i was looking for an ISO FIX when I got my car but gave up the ideas cos it cost 40-50% more than a standard model. e.g. MAXI COSI PriorXP = $300-450 MAXI COSI PriorXP with ISO FIX = $700-800. not so worth it IMO.
those are jus my thoughts.
After reading what you guys typed, I did some reading up. Apparently, rear facing child seats are alot safer but in general, do you guys just go for forward facing ones or otherwise? How crucial is isofix if you have your 5 point harness anyway?

ISOFIX stands for "International Standards Organisation FIX". It is a standard for installing child seats into cars and is intended to make fitting child seats quick and simple.
When cars are manufactured, ISOFIX points are built into them. Child seat manufacturers also build ISOFIX fitting points on their child seats. This will enable ISOFIX child seats to be simply plugged into the ISOFIX points in the car.
ISOFIX is an essential development because many people find it difficult to fit child seats correctly, and many surveys have found that a high proportion of the child seats are not fitted securely enough.
Most child seats are currently designed to be fitted by using a car's adult lap and diagonal seat belt (or sometimes, just a lap belt). However, car seats, seat belts, and their anchorages vary dramatically between different models of cars. Car seats have different shapes; some seat belts are much shorter than others, the position of the anchor points differs so some are further forward or have shorter stalks than others. All these factors make it virtually impossible to make a child car seat that fits all cars, and sometimes tricky to fit a child car seat correctly.
ISOFIX is designed to solve all these problems. The ultimate aim is that any ISOFIX child car seat you buy will fit your car simply by plugging it into the ISOFIX points.

Does your wife have the Robinson's card? Makes a difference...
I know Takashimaya would prob have their season starting end of this month but I'm still waiting for the brochure... So for Tangs, Citibank cards give you 5% rebate which I love though it's 5% but not restricted to whether you bought a discounted item or not...
Hi Hon,
If you want to get Maxi Cosi seats, you can head down to:
Baby's HyperStore
69 Kaki Bukit Ave 1
Shun Li Industrial Parkk
Tel: 6844 1123
Opening Hrs:
Mon-Sat 11am-9pm
Sun & Public Holidays: 11am-7pm
They are the local suppliers if I'm not wrong and their prices are relatively lower all-year round compared to places like Tangs (etc) since they are the distributors. I got my stuff (Quinny + Maxi Cosi) from them.

when I was sourcing for Quinny 3 yrs ago. I find prices at Baby Hyperstore Ubi wasn't good. I bough it from Kids Mall Suntec instead. it was $289 instead of $320 at Baby Hyperstore. The best is go round to compare their price. one item cheap doesn't everything else its cheap. but it will be troublesome to travel around to so many store to find out the price.
I never knew "Kids Mall" existed...
