I’d stick with a seat that uses the three point belt rather than used Isofix mounts/ parts and leave aftermarket parts well alone for an application like that.

^^^^ Agree, just because Isofix bits might be available to fit to the car it does not necessarily mean you should fit them

Isofix is a 'grade A' life or death application with all car manufacturers using sophisticated test/fit equipment not available to the DIY enthusiast.

Don't do it.

Having iso fix retro fitted to a Mercedes Benz by a Mercedes Benz dealer you would expect no issues. Read what the OP has in mind.

I wouldn't even consider it, with respect.

Presumably, you're looking at it from a safety perspective for a child and one if the biggest problems with child seats has been found to be poor fitting, hence one of the reasons why isofix was introduced. However, in some tests seat-belt secured seats, properly fitted, have actually performed better than some isofix-fitted seats, so isofix isn't necessarily the answer to all problems. If it was me, I would rather purchase a better seat-belt secured seat, and ensure it's fitted properly. If you purchase secondhand fittings you have no idea what stresses they've been subject to in the past and, therefore, how well they will perform should they ever be put yo the test.

Unfortunately, there's only one way you'll know how good your used parts, or fitting skills are, and that's if they're put to the test.
