No ISOFIX in car!

I've just gone back home (another country) and needed to get my son a car seat for my dad's car as I couldn't take ours. My dad's car is an old Audi from 2005 and surprisingly it doesn't have Isofix. We have another car that does have Isofix so ideally I would need a car seat that I can use with Isofix and with normal seat belt. My son is 4 months old so he has to be seated rear facing. I have seen several car seats but if installed rearfacing it can be only installed with Isofix. A costumer assistant told me that any car seat can be installed rearfacing with normal seat belt. When looking for a car seat I was looking for a car seat that I could install it with Isofix or with seat belt (old school). I have installed the car seat but I am not so sure I've done it properly. I have an evolutive chair rear and forward facing but my son is less than 15 months so has to go rear facing. A customer assistant from a shop I wnt told me that I could install it with the seat belt rear facing too. Can anyone tell me if any Isofix rear facing car seat can be also installed with the seat belt? Whta should I be looking for in an Isofix car seat to be able to install it with the seat belt? Thanks!

What car seat? No car seats can be installed with both seatbelt and isofix, unless it’s an infant carrier then it’s one or the other x

Loads of car seats can be isofix and belted. Which do you have

@Hollie i don't have one yet but I'm thinking about the one I'll show you in the next photo

@Kiera yes, I understand the same as you but I was told regardless of what the manufacturer says all isofix car seats can be installed with a normal seat belt, that's why I was so confused

@Lidia whoever told you that is a liar and literally doesn’t know shit about car seats unfortunately. They were likely just trying to sell you a car seat x High backed boosters can be installed with or without isofix, but any others no. Unless it’s a baby seat, the ones with handles.

How long is it for? Why don’t you just buy a belted rear face one for your dad’s car?

@Hollie it's occasionally. It's going to be 3 weeks for now and then the times we visit them which will be 2 to 3 times a year for a couple of weeks each time. I've been thinking about this but I can't find many. Most of them look like the one I bought where my LO doesn't seat properly as his chin is touching his chest and he can't breath properly

I'd just look for a seat that is only belt fitted. Then it can be used in both cars with just the seatbelt

Do you need to buy it abroad or in the uk?x

For my son we had a Maxi Cosi Coral infant seat. We also had the base attachment to go with it. When installed with the base it was isofix and without the base it had to be belted in. https://www.maxi-cosi.com/international/car-seats/coral
