Britax Römer car seat, FIRST CLASS PLUS car seat group 0 + / 1 (birth-18 kg), Cosmos Black

It is bulky and heavier than the Joie All Stages but it does the job and my 9 month old is very comfortable in it. Easy to install (following you tube video) and easy to strap baby in. Perfect to leave at grandparents house and fantastic for the price. I would recommend if this is your budget for a car seat. If your budget is slightly higher, i would look for a less bulky one.

We bought this today, the instructions were easy to follow and it was relatively easy to install into the car. The only downfall is how high the seat is when rear facing, I would have preferred it to be a little lower but that said it is really sturdy, comfy and my son was so happy and secure in the seat this evening. Straps are really easy to adjust too.A great buy!

Lost a star because it we couldn’t get along with it rear-facing.We have many offspring and have owned many car seats over the years. Safety recommendations have altered since we had our eldest. As a result, I wanted a good seat at good value; firstly, so that we could keep him rear-facing for as long as possible and secondly, preferably achieve this without remortgaging to buy it. Previous experience dictates that he will be grown out of it before we can blink. Unfortunately, the way the seatbelt has to be configured to secure this seat rear-facing, results in an extremely difficult situation when trying to get the actual child into the seat. This was the same in both cars. I was pretty sure initially that it was user error because it seemed that daft but I read and re-read the instructions and we definitely had not made a mistake. The seatbelt comes out forwards and then around the back of the seat, meaning it travels diagonally across the door opening. Which in turn because the seat is quite high means, that to get the child into it you have to somehow post them between the fixed structure of the seat and the torte seatbelt and then try and lower them into it with a belt in your face. They are probably screaming and back arching at this point. Everyone who’s ever had a one year plus old in their care for any length of time, knows that they’ve no patience for any kind of incompetence when it comes to these things. Trying to get a wriggling toddler into a seat without wrapping him around the seat belt was nigh on impossible. We basically abandoned it and went back to the Group 0 and literally used that until we really couldn’t anymore and at this point we were happy to travel with him forward-facing.Now we are using it in the forward-facing position, we are very pleased with it. It’s not too bulky, so two other car seats fit alongside it safely in our tank. It is easy to secure. Loud click so there’s no doubt whether it’s fastened or not. Easy to tighten and he is clearly comfortable. He looks snug and protected. It is definitely better quality than the Group 1 Maxicosi we once had for the older ones. The cover is soft. Haven’t washed it yet. It’s light enough to move from one car to the other. It is extremely easy to secure with the seatbelt in forward-facing position.In a nutshell, my advice is if you plan on rear-facing and you only have seatbelt fixation as an option you will probably have the same issue with any seat. If you have isofix- use that and keep these ones for forward-facing.

I bought this car seat for my newborn, as at the time we weren't big drivers so I didn't see the justification of getting an infant car seat and travel system buggy.Infant/rearward facing:It was a great seat for a newborn. She sat snuggly in the extra insert, and always slept comfortably. Once the seat was properly installed, it was firm and steady - and I never questioned its safety despite not being Isofix. It could be tricky to get a proper rearward installation on my VW Golf, sometimes taking a few goes before it sat solidly with no movement, but since I rarely removed the seat from the car, I didn't mind this so much. I learned that if I moved the front passenger seat back to sit flush with the back of the carseat that it would feel even more firm and secure. The way the seatbelt feeds along the side of the seat in the rearward position means it is in the way of getting your little one into and out of the carseat. But for me this was easily remedied by simply pulling the seatbelt to slack, and tucking it under the lip on the side of the seat while putting baby into and out of position. And then repositioning the seatbelt when finished. Admittedly, VW Golfs are renowned for their long seatbelt, so this was easy for me to do. I fitted the seat in a friend's Nissan Qashqai once, and the seatbelt wasn't long enough to do this; I admit getting my baby into and out of the seat when it was in the Qashqai was pretty annoying and I ended up climbing in the opposite side of the car with her in my arms to get her in the seat from the other side. So maybe check how long your seatbelts are if you plan to use this seat rearward facing.Toddler/Forward facing:It is super easy to get the carseat fitted in a forward position. No fiddling around with placement and tension to make sure the seat is firmly in place. It is straightforward and the seat sits firmly. The seatbelt is all contained and tucked behind the seat, so no worries there. By the time I turned my baby around, we were already sold on the seat's functionality. It has three recline positions that are easy to adjust om the fly. The third has always been suitable for a comfortable sleeping position, without any head slumping forward or neck contortions. When she was in an in-between phase, when she was too big for the infant insert but too small to comfortably sleep without it, we bought the Britax Rover head insert, which worked well. By the time she was about 14 months, she slept well just in the seat itself, although she's always been at the top end of the growth charts.We've had the seat for 19 months now. I've always thought it was a good seat. But I didn't realise just how good it was until we bought a Joie i-anchor and base for our second car. I never knew it was possible to hate a carseat so intensely. In comparison to the Joie, our Britax is truly spectacular. So much so that I'm now trying to find a second hand one to replace the expensive Joie i-anchor we bought!

We already have this seat for our 2 year old and purchased this one for new baby. The seat itself is easy enough to install in car, very sturdy and comfortable for ages newborn to 4 years approx.Babies can lie comfortably rear facing for 2 years and newborn insert can be removed when required whilst still providing optimum comfort.Overall, for the price this seat is excellent

Guter Kindersitz, schade, dass man ihn nicht entgegen der Fahrtrichtung verbauen kann

Es una silla para colocar únicamente con cinturón, es de una gran marca lo que da tranquilidad y la compramos a un muy buen precio.El reclinado es un poco pobre, pero es similar a cualquier otra del mercado, a nosotros no nos molesta y el bebé va muy cómodo.Hay que estirar bastante el cinturón para colocarla en el coche, pero no es algo que hagas todos los días.La comodidad es relativa, para meter al bebé cuando va a contramarcha hay que hacerlo desde la otra puerta.Está bastante acolchada y el reductor de recién nacido es mullidito y recoge muy bien al bebé.

Bon siège , acheté pour ma fille de 1 an, elle s'y est senti tout de suite bien. L'inclinaison est bonne est plutôt facile d'accéder à la poussette de réglage . Le système d'attache au siège en dos route est bien pensé et sécurisant a mon sens. Il y aurait pu avoir une étoile en moins sur le fait que le siège étant haut, cela empêche la visibilité dans le rétroviseur lorsqu'il est sur le siège passager mais vu qu'il est haut cela permet d'avoir une allonge confortable donc je retiendrai cela . Par contre la qualité du siège prendra le dessus pour la note finale, car niveau mode d'emploi il est très mal conçu... 3 langues côtes a côtes avec de banales illustrations. De plus pas d'explication au sujet du rehaussement des bretelles sur la coque en elle même lorsque le bébé grandit. En fait il faut dehousser au demi la housse et passer derrière le dossier afin de détacher les attaches ceintures au centre, de la on les sort des encoches initiales et on les replacent plus haut si besoin.On retiendra une bonne assise enfant, un siège évolutif jusqu'au 4 ans , soit environ 18kg.Petit conseil, ne pas hésiter à acheter une petite glace rétroviseur extérieur en plus lorsque le siège est installé à l'avant passager .

Ich habe diesen nach langen Recherchen als Zweisitz gekauft.Wichtig war mir neben der Sicherheit die Möglichkeit der Befestigung auf den Beifahrersitz.Der Einbau geht mit ein wenig Übung schnell und der Sitz hält sehr gut und ist super fest, wenn der Gurt wirklich straff gezogen wird. Auch beim Kontrollieren lässt sich der Gurt nur wenig nachziehen.Die Sitzposition für mein Kind optimal. Der Kopf fällt nicht nach vorn (wie im MaxiCosi) nutzen aber immer maximale Neigung. Auf langen Fahrten habe ich noch eine Nackenhörnchen genutzt da der Seitenhalt für den Kopf vorallem beim Schlafen etwas fehlt.Das Anschnallen des Kindes ist etwas erschwert das sich der Gurt nur lockern lässt wenn beide Schulterngurte gezogen und der Knopf gedrückt wird, das ist mit einem zappelnden Kind eine kleine Herausforderung. Wenn ein gute Einstellung gefunden ist hält alles gut ohne zu drücken.Optisch sehr schön und auch leicht und damit bequem z.b zwischen den Autos zu wechseln.Insgesamt sind wir sehr zu Frieden auch im Vergleich zum MaxiCosi. Nur die fehlende Möglichkeiten zum seitlichen Drehen ist ein Nachteil

Wir sind top zufrieden mit dem Kindersitz. Er passt super in unseren BMW E39 Limousine (im Moment rückwärtsgerichtet). Nichts wackelt oder ähnliches. Und es ist noch genug Platz um auf der Rückbank alle Sitze zu besetzen. Unser Kind sitzt sehr gut in dem Sitz (71 cm, ca 7,5 Kg). Endlich sind die Autofahrten wieder angenehm. Auch schlafen ist kein Thema, ihr Kopf fällt nicht nach vorne oder der Gleichen. Für die Neugeborenen Einlage, welche bis 8 Kg genutzt werden kann ist sie leider zu groß, ist aber nicht weiter schlimm, da ihr Koof mit Mütze und Schbeeanzug etc gut gepolstert ist. Nach dem Winter werden wir ein extra Kopfpolster kaufen, schade, dass dies nicht mit dabei ist. Das Reinsetzen ist gar kein Problem. Wir klemmen einfach den Gurt unter die Armlehne und sobald sie im Kindersitz ist, holen wir den Gurt qieder hervor, ebenso beim rausnehmen. Für uns ein super Kindersitz, den wir definitiv die nächsten 3 Jahre noch nutzen werden.Zur info: in einem Opel Mokka war er auch verbaut, dort war er aber nicht so stabil und wackelte. Von der Sitzbelegung her, war es kein Problem, es qar ausreichend Platz nach vorne und in der Mitte konnte noch eine Sitzerhöhung installiert werden plus eine weitere Person beben dran.Für uns eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
