i was reading some euroNCAP crash reports. they crash cars with carseats in the second row. one FF, one RF. being euro cars, the seats are usually euro-britaxes such as the rohmer babysafe plus and duo plus.
but get this, here's how they described the installations on one particular test car:
so they're using both ISOFIX AND the seatbelt? i thought that's a huge no-no?
also, for the 3-yo, they're using ISOFIX and a top tether. i thought that euro cars don't use top tethers with ISOFIX?
i'm going to browse around some more crash tests and see if they do this on all or most of the test cars...

Restraints used
18 month old
Britax-Römer BabySafe Plus Universal, rearward-facing using ISOFIX anchorages and adult seatbelt
3 year old
Britax-Römer Duo Plus Universal, forward-
facing using ISOFIX anchorages and top-
tether
