Britax Römer launches two new car seats exclusively with Mothercare The KIDFIX III M and DUALFIX M i-SIZE expand on two popular ranges providing premium comfort and safety July 2018 - Britax Römer, the leader in child mobility, has today announced the launch of its two new car seats, the KIDFIX III M and DUALFIX M i-SIZE. The latest additions to its ever-expanding offering are based on popular products and offer more comfort and flexibility to children and parents alike. They are available now and will be exclusively sold through UK retailer, Mothercare. KIDFIX III M The latest addition to the KIDFIX range, the KIDFIX III M is suitable from 15 – 36 kg (3.5 – 12 years) and has been designed to offer children a new level of comfort while travelling. It is based on the KIDFIX II XP SICT, one of Britax Römer’s most popular car seats to date. Comfort for all Engineered to become the most comfortable highback booster seat on the market, the KIDFIX III M’s ergonomic design is ideal for lengthy journeys. Its longer seating area with a soft front section offers an ergonomic leg position even for the tallest of children. The KIDFIX III M’s wider V-shaped backrest ensures a snug, cosy fit for children of all sizes, providing more space as the child grows. Keeping safe The additional comfort has not compromised the safety of Britax Römer’s latest car seat, with all features that parents have come to expect from their products. SICT technology offers superior protection to a child in the event of a side collision and the SecureGuard helps protect a child’s delicate abdominal area by adding a forth contact point to the 3-point seat belt. Looking smart The KIDFIX III M has been designed with the fashion-conscious parent in mind and features a modern design with a black shell that looks sleek in any car. The KIDFIX III M is available now at Mothercare with an RRP of £180 and is offered in Cosmos Black, Storm Grey and Moonlight Blue.
