Product Information

The seat also has Side Impact Cushion Technology (SICT), which offers enhanced protection in the event of a side collision. It reduces the force of an impact by minimising the distance between the side of the car and the car seat and absorbs the energy of the impact. Installing the Britax-Römer Kidfix M I-size is made easy, thanks to its user-friendly design. The seat comes with a removable cover that is not only easy to remove but also machine washable, making it convenient for parents to maintain cleanliness. However, our tester, Jemma, found that the lapbelt didn’t sit correctly when the SecureGuard was used – the crotch piece seemed to pull the seatbelt too low for her five-year-old daughter to sit comfortably and the belt ended up folding in the router, which her child didn’t like. This was also the case when the car seat was used with her daughter's five-year-old friend. With a raft of safety certificates under its belt, and made by a trusted manufacturer, the Kidfix III M boasts a range of safety features.

Larger seating area than similar models means added comfort, which is especially useful for taller childrenThe seat felt very stable when fitted with ISOFIX fixings and a three-point seatbelt, with or without her daughter in the seat. It also felt stable when fitted with just a seatbelt, but it didn't feel as secure in this configuration if her child wasn't in the seat. According to the instruction manual, the middle seat is the optimum location for the Britax Römer Kidfix III M in a Citroën Grand C4 Picasso (Jemma's car).

While it is a bulky seat when compared to other seats we tested, such as the BeSafe iZi Flex Fix i-Size, the seat area is 20% bigger than most other seats in this age group according to Britax Römer. This not only means plenty of room for even the tallest of children, but also added comfort thanks to the seat's soft front section.

If you have a larger budget, there are are extras available to buy, including a seat protector and a seat organiser, all at reasonable prices.
