Is it safe to drive with out the ISO bar?

[Jamesstone]

More weight removal gossip lol, basically ivan73 was over mine yesterday, had a fun time re-mapping his car :dapprove:.. argh that was fun.. but while talking about weight removal he suggested removing the Iso bar as it weighed a fair bit & was only there for child seats, so is this the case? i thought it was in theory like a strut brace to keep the rear firm? if not that f*****s coming out as my car is going down the stripped route any one know the weight of the thing?

i have read he thread but still done understand? child seat just sit on the rear seats and use the seat belts, thus not using any bar at all??

anyone have a pic?

Some child seats are fitted with 'isofix'.

The seat actually clamps through the gap inbetween the base and back of the seat and onto the isofix bar.
