The Britax Römer Discovery Plus excels in providing a safe and comfortable travel experience for older children. The ISOFIX compatibility is a standout feature, creating a direct, rigid link to your car's chassis. This significantly reduces forward movement and rotation in the event of a collision, offering peace of mind. Parents will appreciate the clear, intuitive installation process that the ISOFIX system provides, largely minimizing common installation errors. Once installed, the seat remains stable, even when unoccupied.
For the child, the adjustable headrest ensures that the seat grows with them. As your child increases in height from 100 cm to 150 cm, you can easily adjust the headrest to position the vehicle's shoulder belt correctly across their clavicle, preventing it from rubbing against their neck or slipping off their shoulder. The highback design provides essential protection for your child's head, neck, and torso, particularly in side-impact scenarios. This makes it a reliable choice for daily commutes, school runs, and longer family road trips, ensuring your child is securely and comfortably restrained throughout their journey.
Read the Manual: Always begin by thoroughly reading the included instruction manual specific to your Britax Römer Discovery Plus car seat.
Locate ISOFIX Anchors: In your vehicle, locate the ISOFIX anchorage points (usually marked with an ISOFIX symbol) between the seat back and cushion.
Extend ISOFIX Connectors: Extend the ISOFIX connectors from the car seat until they click securely onto your vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. Listen for a clear 'click' and check the indicators (if present) to confirm a secure connection.
Push Seat Firmly: Push the car seat firmly against the vehicle's seat back to eliminate any gaps.
Route Seatbelt: Place your child in the seat and pull the vehicle's 3-point seat belt across their body. Guide the lap belt under the armrests and the shoulder belt through the red belt guide near the headrest. Ensure the belt lies flat and is not twisted.
Vehicle Compatibility: This car seat is primarily designed for use in vehicles equipped with ISOFIX anchorage points. While some booster seats can be used without ISOFIX, the 'Plus' series often emphasizes ISOFIX for enhanced safety. Refer to your car seat manual and your vehicle's owner's manual for a list of approved vehicles. > Info needed: Clarify if a belt-only installation is formally supported.

Plastic Parts: Wipe plastic components with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Straps: Check seatbelt guides and ISOFIX connectors regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Do not lubricate any parts of the car seat.
