Ready for the next step on your little one's journey? The DUALFIX 5Z from Britax Römer is the perfect follow-up seat to use after the BABY-SAFE 5Z or any other of their infant carriers.

Easily clicked onto the FLEX BASE 5Z (sold separately), it provides superior protection and cosy comfort for many journeys to come until your child is four years old. Thanks to the 360° rotation of the FLEX BASE 5Z, the seat can be used rearward and forward facing, making it easy to get them in and out of the car, even in the tightest of parking spots.

Key Features:

  • Buckle up effortlessly - 360° rotation makes it easy to get your child in and out of the DUALFIX 5Z, whether it's reclined or upright
  • Superior side impact protection - Integrated SICT inside absorbs the energy of a side collision and keeps your child away from the impact, so they'll be protected if the worst happens.
  • Independent ISOFIX connectors - Install the seat more easily, since each ISOFIX connector of the FLEX BASE 5Z is operated independently. They're fast and safe to connect, so you can get on with your day.
  • Keep them rearward facing for longer - Give your child the best possible protection in the event of a frontal collision: the DUALFIX 5Z allows your child to face rearwards for longer, giving extra protection from injury.
  • Multi-recline positions - The DUALFIX 5Z has 6 forward-facing and 6 rearward-facing positions that can be adjusted with ease to keep your child happy and comfortable.
  • Deep, secure side wings - Cocoon your little one with the soft, padded side wings of the DUALFIX 5Z, keeping them safe in the event of a collision
  • Comfortable, protective headrest - The V-shaped headrest provides comfort while protecting your child's head in the event of a collision
  • Soft performance chest pads - Soft performance chest pads keep your little one safe and comfortable
  • Extra-safe 5-point harness - The 5-point safety harness gives the greatest protection in the event of a collision
  • Height adjustable support leg - Height adjustable support ensures proper installation of the seat in your car for maximum safety
  • Quick-remove washable cover - Machine washable cover easily detaches from the car seat without removing the harness, so you can get back on the road quicker.

Safety:

  • Under no circumstances should a rearward-facing car seat be used on a passenger seat where there is an active airbag.
  • Correct fitting of all car seats and boosters is of paramount importance in making them the most effective in the event of an accident. Not all car seats fit all cars and it is important to check for fitting suitability on all cars you intend to fit the seat to, as well as re-checking if you change your car.
  • Always read the instruction booklet that comes with your car seat to achieve a safe and correct fitting, retaining the guide for future reference. We recommend fitting your car seat in advance of first using it.
  • We recommend that babies shouldn't be left in car seats (infant carriers) for prolonged periods.
  • Suitability:

    • Please make sure that you check the car seat you choose is suitable for your car before ordering. This can be done in store with a Partner or on the car seat manufacturer's website.
    • Some of our shops offer a car seat fit test, where a Nursery advisor will test the display model in your car to check that it will fit properly. Please contact your local shop to see if this service is available. Alternatively, please contact the car seat manufacturer who will be able to advise whether their model will be suitable for your car.
    • We also offer in-store and virtual appointments so you can access our All Things Baby services at a time and place to suit you. Click here to book your appointment. or find your nearest department store here.

    All the car seats in our range are designed to give your child the best possible protection and meet the criteria set out in the R129 (iSize) safety regulation. A baby must travel in the safer rear-facing position up to the minimum recommended age of 15 months. Some R129 car seats can be used rear-facing until a child is 105cm tall, which is around 4 years old.

    Side impact testing is assessed as part of the regulation to improve the protection of the child’s head and neck. R129 also makes use of the most high-tech crash test dummies which not only has improved sensor technology to test for greater sensitivity, but it also features more sensors on fragile areas of the body. iSize is an enhancement of R129 that makes it easier to confirm your car seat's compatibility with any iSize approved vehicle - reducing the risk of installing your car seat incorrectly. While all i-Size car seats meet the R129 testing standards, not every R129 car seat is an iSize compatible seat.

    R129 (iSize) car seats are classified by height only. The below table is a rough guide as to how the car seats can relate to a child’s age based on the average child's height. In some instances, we may still need to check the weight of the child within the height band due to the maximum mass load permitted on a vehicle’s ISOFIX points.

    TypeHeight of ChildApprox. Age of Child
    Baby40-85cmBirth up to 15 months
    Toddler40-105cmBirth up to 4 years
    Toddler40-150cmBirth up to 12 years
    Toddler76-150cm15 months up to 12 years
    Child100-150cm4 to 12 years

    Note: This is a rough guide only. Please always refer to the individual car seat’s guidance for more specific details. Some car seats will be approved for use across two or more height bands. This just means that these seats have the ability to adapt as your child grows, meaning they can use them for longer.
