Advanced Side Impact Protection (SICT): New design SICT (Side Impact Cushion Technology) provides superior protection by absorbing energy and reducing forces in a side collision, moving the impact away from your child.
XP-PAD Frontal Impact Protection: This unique, shock-absorbing foam pad significantly reduces the forces impacting the child's chest in a frontal collision, helping to decrease serious injury.
SecureGuard Technology: Helps to position the lap belt optimally over the child's pelvic bones, rather than the stomach area, which can reduce abdominal injury forces by up to 35% in a frontal impact.
i-Size Certified: Complies with the latest and highest European safety standard (ECE R129), ensuring advanced protection for children from 100 to 150 cm tall.
Optimized Air Ventilation Holes: Strategically placed holes in the shell aid air circulation, helping to keep your child comfortable and cool during longer journeys.

The Britax Römer Kidfix i-Size car seat is designed to provide peace of mind on every journey. Its integrated safety systems work in unison to protect your child.
Frontal Impact Management: In a sudden stop or collision, the XP-PAD acts as a crucial buffer. Positioned across the child's chest, it absorbs a significant portion of the impact energy, reducing the force exerted on the child's delicate chest area. Concurrently, SecureGuard ensures the lap belt remains correctly positioned over the strong pelvic bones, away from the vulnerable abdominal region, mitigating the risk of internal injuries.
Side Impact Protection: The SICT system is engineered to provide superior protection from side collisions. In the event of a side impact, the specially designed side impact cushions absorb the kinetic energy, diverting it away from your child and minimizing the impact force they experience.
Comfort for Long Journeys: The carefully placed air ventilation holes within the car seat's shell are essential for maintaining a comfortable microclimate for your child. This feature is particularly beneficial on warmer days or during extended car trips, preventing overheating and ensuring a more pleasant travel experience.
Ease of Use: The Kidfix i-Size is typically installed using a vehicle's ISOFIX anchorage points and the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Always ensure the seat is clicked in securely and that the green indicators are visible for ISOFIX connections. The headrest and upper belt guide are designed for easy, one-handed adjustment to grow with your child, ensuring the correct and safe positioning of the seat belt over their shoulder.
Read the Manual: Always begin by thoroughly reading the comprehensive user manual provided with your Britax Römer Kidfix i-Size car seat.
ISOFIX Installation: Locate your vehicle's ISOFIX anchorage points. Extend the ISOFIX connectors from the car seat and click them onto the vehicle's anchorage points. Listen for a distinct 'click' and ensure the green indicators are visible on both connectors.
Secure the Seat: Push the car seat firmly against the vehicle's seat back to ensure a tight fit and minimize any movement.
Belt Routing: Guide your vehicle's 3-point seat belt through the designated red belt guides on the car seat. Ensure the lap belt passes through the SecureGuard, and the diagonal belt passes through the shoulder belt guide.
Check for Security: After installation, give the car seat a firm tug. It should not move more than a few centimeters from side to side.
The Kidfix i-Size is certified to the i-Size (ECE R129) standard, meaning it's designed to fit into all i-Size approved seating positions in vehicles.
While developed in partnership with leading car manufacturers for broad compatibility, always consult the vehicle fitting list on the Britax Römer official website or your car seat's manual. This will confirm precise compatibility with your specific car model and year.
Ensure your vehicle has ISOFIX anchorage points for secure installation.
Fabric Covers: The fabric covers are typically removable and machine washable. Always refer to the washing label attached to the cover for specific temperature and care instructions (usually a gentle cycle at 30°C).
Plastic Parts: Wipe plastic components, harness buckles, and belt guides with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the materials.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the car seat for any signs of wear, damage, or degradation to the fabric, plastic, or foam components. If damage is found, contact customer support or replace the seat.
