Description PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR ALL AGES Designed to keep your child safe from 9 months all the way up to 12 years of age, ADVANSAFIX III SICT combines a range of advanced safety technologies that exceed the legal requirements to give you even greater peace of mind. ISOFIX with Pivot Link minimises forward movement in the event of a collision, reducing the risk of head and neck injury for children of all ages, while our side impact protection (SICT) provides additional protection in the event of a side collision. And as your child grows and transitions from being secured with the integrated 5-point harness to being secured with the car’s 3-point seat belt, the SecureGuard helps to keep the adult lap belt in the optimal position. SUITABLE FROM 9 TO 36 KG The ADVANSAFIX III SICT grows with your child as it can be used for children from 9 kg to 36 kg. This makes it the only car seat you’ll need after an infant carrier. As your little one grows, you can easily switch from the integral harness (up to 18 kg) to using the car’s 3-point seat belt (up to 36 kg) with the additional protection from our SecureGuard to secure the child in the seat. COMFORT FOR ALL AGES Whether you’re popping to the shops or driving on holiday, your child’s comfort is essential for relaxed car journeys. And as they grow, so their needs change. No matter how old they are, whether its 9 months or 12 years, ADVANSAFIX III SICT adapts to suit to your child’s specific needs. Approved for use in reclined positions for children of all ages, its soft padded side wings and adjustable recline positions mean you can be sure your child will be comfortable while travelling, wherever your journey takes you. FEATURES HIGHBACK BOOSTER PROTECTION Our highback boosters protect your child in 3 ways: the seat shell provides head to hip protection for your child, especially in case 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. 5-POINT HARNESS We believe a 5-point harness is the safest way to secure your child in a car seat because it keeps your child safe and tight in the seat’s protective shell. In case of a collision, the harness distributes the forces of the impact across 5 points, two at the shoulders, two at the hips and one where the harness buckles between the legs. This helps to protect your child from all directions of impact. SECUREGUARD SecureGuard helps to protect an older child’s delicate abdominal area and adds an extra - a 4th - contact point to the standard 3-point adult 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 by up to 35 %* and at the same time allows your child freedom of movement during any journey. (*Britax Römer internal tests with a Q6 dummy, representing an average 6 year old child) ADVANCED SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION (SICT) Our SICT offers superior protection to your child in the event of a side collision. It reduces impact forces by minimising the distance between the car and the car seat and deforms to absorb the energy before it reaches your little one. To benefit from the protection, simply adapt the SICT on the side of the car seat closest to the door. MULTI-RECLINE POSITIONS Keeping your child comfortable while travelling is a must. That’s why ADVANSAFIX III SICT was designed with 3 positions that you can recline with ease – offering a stress-free journey with a happy child. Top Tether with rip-stitch technology Our v-shaped Top Tether prevents the seat from rotating and reduces the forward movement of the child in the event of a collision. Due to its twin anchorage points, it offers even greater stability and security for your child than a seat with conventional tethers. Plus, its unique pattern of stitches is designed to progressively rip in a controlled fashion, absorbing the force of the frontal impact. THE BRITAX RÖMER PIVOT LINK SYSTEM In case of an impact, our patented Pivot Link System directs the force first downward, into the vehicle seat, and then forward, more gently – greatly reducing the risk of head and neck injury. PERFORMANCE CHEST PADS Our performance chest pads provide comfort and reduce your child’s forward movement in a frontal collision with extra care and attention to a child’s delicate neck. They also help spread the forces from a frontal impact more evenly across your child’s shoulders and chest. EASY ADJUSTABLE HEADREST AND HARDNESS Our padded headrest and harness can easily be adjusted with one hand to suit your child’s height. Before you install the seat in your car, check to make sure the headrest is in the correct position – just above your child’s shoulders. EASY ADJUSTABLE HEADREST Our easy-to-adjust headrest was designed especially for older children, when using the 3-point seat belt to secure them in the car seat. The headrest can easily be adjusted to the correct position, just above the child’s shoulders, with one hand - even while the child is sitting in the seat. QUICK-REMOVE COVER Things can get pretty messy on the road. Drinks can spill and children can get car sick. That’s why we designed a 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.

That’s why Britax Römer developed the first ISOFIX child car seat. ISOFIX is a standard system of connection points featured in almost all cars and establishes a secure and firm connection between the child’s car seat and the car. So every time you, or a grandparent or friend, have to fit the car seat into your car, or into another car, fewer mistakes can be made. ADVANSAFIX III SICT specific requirements – a safe installation is completed with the use of Top Tether to allow optimum stability. Check the vehicle owner's manual to locate ISOFIX and Top Tether anchorage points in your car and ask your local retailer for a test installation in your car (please ask for a member of staff trained by Britax Römer), before you buy the car seat. Belted with ISOFIX attachment and Top Tether (Group 2/3) Britax Römer offers you more flexibility with the option to install your car seat with the car’s own integrated 3-point seat belt. This option is handy if you will be transferring the car seat to different cars which may not all have ISOFIX. Seat belt guides on the car seat will help you install the seat correctly. ADVANSAFIX III SICT features integrated ISOFIX and Top Tether connectors that enable you to attach the car seat to the ISOFIX and Top Tether anchorage points in your car. The ISOFIX and Top Tether installation system offers superior performance in the event of an accident when your child is secured with the car's 3-point seat belt and ensures that the car seat is always firmly attached to the car, even when it is not being used by your child. Check our vehicle list or FIT FINDER® on the product page to see if the car seat is compatible with your car.
