Britax Römer KIDFIX III S Group 2/3 Car Seat, Storm Grey

Based on over 50 years of experience and research, the KIDFIX III S from Britax Römer offers the highest level of safety.

Always perfectly protected, thanks to the latest safety features, you can be reassured that your little one is safe and sound. Due to the larger seating area and v-shaped backrest, the seat grows perfectly with your child and is one of the most comfortable child seats on the market thanks to its ergonomic shape.

The SecureGuard feature helps to protect your child's delicate abdominal area by adding an extra – a 4th – contact point to the 3-point seat belt. By keeping the lap belt in an optimal position over your child's pelvic bones SecureGuard helps reduce abdominal forces in the event of a frontal collision and at the same time allows your child freedom of movement during the journey.

Key Features:

• Suitable from approximately 3.5 years to 12 years (15kg to 36kg)
• Isofix compatible for easy installation
• Advanced Side Impact Protection reduces impact forces in case of a collison
• Easily adapts to your growing child.
• Developed, designed, manufactured and rigorously tested in Germany
• Highback boosters protect your child in 3 ways: the seat shell provides head to hip protection for your child, especially in the event of a side impact; the upper and lower belt guides provide correct positioning of the seat belt, and the padded headrest provides safety and comfort for your child's head and neck.
• Machine washable seat cover that can easily be taken off without removing the harness, so you can clean up quick and get on your way.
• Easy adjustable, ergonomic headrest can easily be adjusted to the correct position, just above your child's shoulders, with one hand – even while they are sitting in the seat. It also supports their head when they fall asleep.
• Easy adjustable V-shaped backrest that's designed to give optimum support to your growing child, with more space for their back and shoulders and automatically adjusts to match the angle of the vehicle seat for the best position for your child.

All our car seats comply with current European regulations ECE R44-03 or ECE R44.04.

Safety:

• Under no circumstances should a rearward-facing car seat be used on a passenger seat where there is an active airbag.
• Correct fitting of all car seats and boosters is of paramount importance in making them the most effective in the event of an accident. Not all car seats fit all cars and it is important to check for fitting suitability on all cars you intend to fit the seat to, as well as re-checking if you change your car.
• Always read the instruction booklet which comes with your car seat to achieve a safe and correct fitting, retaining the guide for future reference. We recommend fitting your car seat in advance of first using it.
• We recommend that babies shouldn't be left in car seats (infant carriers) for prolonged periods.

Suitability:

• Please make sure that you check the car seat you choose is suitable for your car before ordering. This can be done in store with a Partner or on the car seat manufacturer's website.
• Some of our shops offer a car seat fit test, where a Nursery advisor will test the display model in your car to check that it will fit properly. Please contact your local shop to see if this service is available. Alternatively, please contact the car seat manufacturer who will be able to advise whether their model will be suitable for your car.
• We also offer in-store and virtual appointments so you can access our All Things Baby services at a time and place to suit you. Click here to book your appointment.

Car seats adhere to strict safety regulations and conform to one of the following two types of seats:

• Height-based seats - These seats adhere to the safety regulation R129. They must be rear-facing until your child is over 15 months old. Your child can use a forward-facing child car seat when they’re over 15 months old. You must check the seat to make sure it’s suitable for the height of your child. i-Size is an enhancement of R129 that makes it easier to confirm your car seat's compatibility with any i-Size approved vehicle - reducing the risk of installing your car seat incorrectly. While all i-Size car seats meet the R129 testing standards, not every R129 car seat is an i-Size compatible seat.
• Weight-based seats - These seats adhere to the R44.04 car seat regulation. The seat your child can use (and the way they must be restrained in it) depends on their weight.

The below table is a rough guide as to how the car seats can relate to a child’s age based on the average child's weight or height depending on the regulation chosen.
