Baby carrier for the car: choose the best

Traveling safely in the car is an issue of utmost importance to parents, especially since they have their first baby. Having a safe baby carrier for our child is essential for protection in the event of an accident. To choose the best baby carrier It is necessary to take into account a series of recommendations and advice.

How to get the right choice for the baby carrier?

Each family has its priorities, but most agree that the baby carrier for the car it must be easy to install, offer security, enjoy comfort for the baby, be durable for the child's growth and, why not, be attractive.

1. Easy to install. Placing the baby carrier in the car is a task that is usually carried out daily. Therefore, it is important that it is versatile and can be adapted to the chassis of the stroller as well. Britax Römer just launched the BABY-SAFE i-SIZE, which is compatible with all Britax strollers and with many strollers from other recognized brands using the specific adapter.


In addition, although it can be installed directly with the three-point belt of the vehicle, the installation and disassembly of the baby carrier has been simplified thanks to its Flex Base, adjustable in four positions. This base stays in the car, fixed to the ISOFIX anchorages, and the baby carrier is simply placed and removed by a click.

2. Security. In case of traffic accident it is essential that the baby carrier has safety mechanisms that isolate and protect the baby in case of impact. The Britax Römer Enhanced Lateral Impact Absorption System (SICT) offers superior protection in the event of a two-step side collision. At first it moves the child away from the impact in a controlled movement, and then it deforms to absorb the energy exerted on the child.


Also has five point harness, which keeps children safe and well secured in the protective structure of the baby carrier. In the event of a collision, the harness distributes the impact forces through five points to help protect children regardless of which direction the blow comes from.

3. Comfort for the baby.The angles of inclination of the seats are different in each car, so in some cases depending on the height, age or muscle development the baby's head can fall forward.

The flexible base of the BABY-SAFE i-SIZE helps to compensate for this recline, since it can be adjusted in four positions to achieve a more comfortable and ergonomic posture, and even has a handy indicator that shows if the angle is too flat.


4. Durability, adapts to growth.Other i-Size baby carriers on the market can be used up to 75 cm, that is, until the baby is about 12 months old. But the BABY-SAFE i-SIZE is a baby carrier for children up to 83 cm in height, corresponding to 15 months of age, the minimum age until which the ECE R129 regulation establishes that children should travel against the march.

In addition, the baby carrier BABY-SAFE i-SIZE allows carrying the smallest babies, since it is designed for children with a shoulder height of 27.4 cm, corresponding to 40 cm of height. To offer extra protection, incorporates a reducer for newborns that has elements that absorb energy in case of impact.

And how do you get this baby carrier provides maximum safety and comfort to a newborn of only 40 cm in height as a child of 83 cm? Thanks to your patented recliner technology, which, by adjusting the headrest according to the child's height, automatically changes the internal structure of the baby carrier. Thus, during the first months a more ergonomic and recumbent posture for the baby is offered, while later the BABY-SAFE i-SIZE grows as the child does, offering more space and a more incorporated position to adapt better to its development.

Availability and price. Imported exclusively in Spain and Andorra by Matias Massó, SA, the BABY-SAFE i-SIZE and its flexible base are now available only through the official Britax Römer distributors, with a recommended retail price of € 399 ( Pack BABY-SAFE i-SIZE + Flex Base).
