Hi Andrew
Congrats on the expanding dynasty 👍
I used the Isofix in my FE and found that all the available guides supplied with seats are too ‘chunky’ to fit in the gap without damaging the seat. Audi sold specific ones for the d2 but I’ve NEVER seen any for sale. I’ll see if I can find the part number, as I’m sure I have an eBay search set up
I found the best option, with a ‘2 point’ Isofix with support leg into the footwell was to just be really careful installing the seat without guides. There is space to do it and you can feel the bars by hand on installing to make sure you’re lined up
Worth noting that Isofix has changed a lot over time. Any seat that requires a top tether can’t be fitted in the d2 (there is no upper anchorage in the car). For ‘baby seats’ and early forward facing you need a support leg into the footwell to prevent forward rotation in an accident. Maxicosi worked well for us, but our sprog turned 12 today so we’re a bit out of date! Once ours was using an adult seat belt we moved on to BeSafe which holds the seat in place with Isofix and offers slightly better protection in side impacts as a result. So very much depends on height and weight of children as to best options
I was involved in the development and regulation of Isofix BITD - something I’m very pleased to have been involved with
