Booster seat from a trusted name Britax would really make you comfortable and feel that you are in safe hands. It is very well known that they are good make and have great experience in making car seat and pushchairs which caters the need for different age group children. It is normally been said by users that Isofix system is good for Group 1 car seats which usually comes with five point harness belt but the same Isofix system does not work for Group 2 child car seat.

Britax Kidfix makes the above statement false because it’s a Group 2 car booster seat made with integrated Isofix system which makes big difference in terms of safety and comfort. It is designed to give not only comfort but essential safety for grown up children who are strong enough to just have adult seat belt. This Britax car seat directly fits into the car using isofix connection points and it means the seat is permanently fixed in place.

Safest Booster Seat

Britax holds good reputation designing reliable group 2/3 booster seats. Isofix system is always been recommended for added safety, although they are quite expensive they are worth. This Isofix car seat specifically locks on to the car chassis so, forward and sideways movements are restricted. It does not mean that normal vehicle seat belt installation is less safe than isofix, the advantage of Isofix is it removes the risk of incorrect fitting. The minimum age group for this booster seat is 4 – 12 years and children should weigh between 15 to 36 kg. These age group children must fit correctly in booster seat but very few are mature enough to be in booster seat.

Though some child reaches legal age requirement they have lower weight and look short in physic so, for extra safety some users prefer five point harness belt in booster seat. This child car seat does not have option to fix five point harness belt and it is not targeted for children who needed to be moved out of the group 1 car seat before the recommended weight for booster seat.

This britax car seat mainly focuses on children who are strong enough to withstand the crash forces when using adult seat belt, it means when they reach 4 years of age the children must be mature enough to wear adult seat belt and not five point harness belt. If your child is below 15 kg then she must use 5 point harness belt but it is not possible in booster seat.

Booster Seat with Safe Backrest

Normally booster cushion that does not come with back seat are not recommended for children unless the children meets the new legal requirement but the full child car seat is always safe even though it is expensive. This isofix car seat does not act like a booster cushion nor is it only used to raise the child’s body to the height suitable for use with the adult seat belt. It is a full child car seat with tall and broad back seat with more safety features.

It is designed with side impact protection that gives optimum safety for shoulder, neck and head in the form of fully padded side wings which is made up of air filled energy managed cushions. Britax has really improved the safety against side-on collision and the padded side wings instantly absorbs the impact in case of accident and your child will have no problem while sleeping on long journey. The backrest is not removable to become a booster cushion.

Find Right Booster Seat

Very specific cars have isofix points to fit isofix car seat and some users still think that they does not really need such Isofix booster seat instead they go for normal Britax booster that just sits on the seat using 3 point seat belt. This booster seat provides the option to install with 3 point seat belt or isofix connection, even using your normal vehicle seat belt for installation does not fit all the vehicles so, it is just a matter of finding whether this Britax car seat fits in your car or not. Finding a right car seat that fits correctly in your vehicle is very important that is why Britax has provided ‘Fit Finder’ option that makes your job easy. Just enter the child weight, age and car make into ‘Fit Finder’ interface in the Britax website and it will suggest appropriate car seat for your child.

Reliable Features

No worry about your child spilling chocolate drinks, sticky sweets or spreading mud all over the seat because this booster car seat comes with machine washable seat cover which is practical to use and safe. It feature eight colour fabric options and your child has reason to choose one.

This child car seat has many features that come aid to the children safety and comfort, the multi reclining system is one of the best thing which gives comfortable seating position and protects the head when you child fall asleep. If the car seat fitted with the Isofix points then the seat can be recline for more comfort when sleeping but this can’t be done once the child is in the seat though, it must be done before. It is not a portable car seat which you normally swap between cars, this Britax car seat slightly heavier than other high back booster seat but not much.
