Hi all !

first post on here. Going to be a dad for the first time in the next few weeks 

Just bought a 2004 WJ 4.7 overland for carting myself, the mrs, young un' and Bow the great dane about.

Has no isofix brackets fitted from standard for a child seat to clip into but have heard with other vehicles its possible to buy the mounting brackets and fit them yourself !?!
Wondered if anyones had any dealings with this ?? and how you went about it ??

Cheers, Lew

Hi Lew,

Congratulations and welcome to a problem I had.

In a word I found the answer to be NO.

We ended up going for a Britax First Class plus seat as it fitted both cars we had, Jeep and Scooby.

Be aware that for some reason the seat belts are not the longest on the Jeep and don't go round all the  baby seats, the Britax was the 3rd attempt at a seat.

Also consider that if the Isofix seat you have if for the travel system as ours way at around 9kg (7ish months) your baby will be to heavy and need to upgrade anyway.

Thanks for all the comments guys !!

 The belted base looks like the way forward but we already have a Recaro young profi plus and it seems you can only get isofix bases for these with no option of a belted version 

[jay140285]

Looks like you will have to do what I did, one seat for one car (saab in my case), then a belted seat ours been the britax as we went for a seat that will last for a few yrs and stays in the Jeep. For £100ish you have a great seat and a safe child in the Jeep.
