BRITAX RÖMER Car Seat EVOLVA 1-2-3 SL SICT, Extendable headrest with Side Protection and Soft Latch ISOFIX, child from 9 to 36 kg (Group 1/2/3) from 9 months to 12 years old, Cosmos Black

I love this brand, my two kids were Britax babes so I've very familiar with just how great their products are, and the testing they go through.Now I have a beautiful little Granddaughter, her safety is also the number one priority, and Britax is the one name that came in my head when I first started looking at car seats. I searched for weeks, comparing different solid brands, but Britax kept coming up as beating them all, from reviews, to presentations and just genuine experience.I chose the Roma Evolva 1-2-3 SL SICT, as it looked solid, yet comfy, with the all important safety features, and when it arrived, I couldn't have been happier.It super easy to fit thanks to the ISO connection, with the addition of the seat belt cleverly concealed behind the padding, meaning this seat is not budging until you want it moved.Please note, this is a front facing only seat, which is perfect for my 16 month old passenger. It's too large and bulky to be removing and carrying after each journey, so ideally, this will just stay in the car.The padding is amazing, and there is plenty of it, which can be removed to suit the growth of the child, and the safety harness is reassuringly secure.Everything is washable which is handy too.Overall, this seat has exceeded my expectations, especially after seeing other seats in stores which are nothing in comparison.I'm so happy with my purchase, and my little Granddaughter will have some super comfy journeys.

The car seat arrived one day earlier than was stated on the email, so happy with that. The seat itself seems to be well constructed, with enough padding for the little one in just the right areas and heavy enough to make you feel that you have something sturdy enough and that it will protect them if the worst happens. The only beef I have is with the printed instruction manuals. Notice that I wrote manuals, plural. That is because there were 28 A3 size folded pages of instructions plus another A5 booklet in 28 languages. Easily the most I have seen accompanying any product. What a waste of paper. So I read the instruction leaflet in English and after 15 minutes gave up trying to decipher their meaning and went to YouTube and found a video from Smyth Toys and the official video, from Britax. Three minutes later, I understood the easy fitting and fitted the seat in 5 minutes. Overall very happy. Also, made in the UK, so what else can I say. Just change that instruction manual.

The seat itself is excellent quality, but unfortunately my 6 year old daughter is now too tall and has outgrown it. If I’d known this would be the case, I definitely wouldn’t have bought it.After trying our various seats in the shop, I’m going to buy the Cybex Solution M-Fix SL Car Seat which should last until my daughter is tall enough to not use one.

Coming from a Britax Dualfix, I was not disappointed to have waited afew extra weeks for the release of this new upgrade to one of the most highly rated car seats on the market - the Britax Evolva 123.The two main updates to the older version of this seat is the SL and SICT part mentioned in the title.SL refers to the Soft Latch ISOFIX that it can optionally use. Only seats for younger children (e.g. Group 0, 0+ and 1) can use ISOFIX, as this reaches the maximum weight limit for ISOFIX connectors. This means that Group 2 and 3 seats MUST use the vehicle's own seatbelt to hold the child seat (and often its occupant) in place. But of course, when you undo the seatbelt to let the child out of the seat, there is nothing holding the child seat in place, so it can move around the back of your car when not in use. Soft Latch Isofix (ISOFIT) uses two straps that have clips on the end that connect to the ISOFIX connector on your car, to hold the child seat in place, so that it remains in place if the seatbelt is undone. Note that you MUST use the vehicle's seatbelt as well to hold the child seat (and child if it's older) in place, whether you use the Soft Latch system or not. For children 9kg to 18kg, the seatbelt holds the child seat in place, and the child seat's 5-point harness holds the child in place. For children 18kg to 36kg, the 5-point harness is removed and you only use the vehicle's seatbelt for both the child seat and the child. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE SOFT LATCH (ISOFIT) WITH ISOFIX. YOU *MUST* USE A SEATBELT TO SECURE ANY CHILD SEAT OF THIS AGE RANGE. ISOFIX CAN ONLY BE USED ON ITS OWN FOR GROUP 0, 0+ AND 1 SEATS. There is another review here giving this seat 1 star because they made this mistake, stating the the seat felt insecure, and clearly didn't read the manual and ignored the stickers on the side of the seat that clearly state you must use a seatbelt too. Read the instructions and do not ignore the stickers on the side of the seat that tell you how to fit the seat. Do not put your child's life at risk by not bothering to read instructions and ignoring warning stickers!SICT refers to Britax's Side Impact Cushion Technology. This is a cylinder that unscrews to protrude from the side of the seat at shoulder height. There is one on each side, but you only use the one nearest to the car's door. In the event of a side impact, it acts as a crumple zone for the seat, absorbing some of the energy and helping to keep the seat away from the impact before the car's door comes in contact with the seat, thus improving the safety of side impacts.The seat is surprisingly light weight for its size, which made fitting it less strenuous. Fitting is pretty straightforward (PLEASE read the instructions!) - in short you place your child in the seat while in the house and adjust the height of the headrest. This also adjusts the height of the shoulder straps, which should be level with or just above the height of the top of your child's shoulders. Outside... you then (if you're going to use them) loosen the two Soft Latch ISOFIX (ISOFIT) straps, put the seat in position, attach the two Soft Latch clips to the ISOFIT connectors on your car, thread the car's seatbelt through a holes in the back of the car seat and fasten the seatbelt, adjust the position of the belt to make it neat and shove a knee onto the seat to press it back hard into the car's seat, pull the seatbelt tight and also the Soft Latch straps tight. Unscrew the SICT thingamy on the side of the chair nearest the door. Done! You can keep it like that until your child weighs 18kg, at which point you have to remove the 5-point harness and use the car's seatbelt to secure both your child and the seat.To secure a child under 18kg, you simply undo the 5-point harness clip, put the child in the seat, fasten the clip, and pull the single strap that comes out at the centre front of the seat. You pull it forward, towards the front of the car, until it gives a loud click (don't pull it upwards - it's too stiff). You then pull the chest pads down as far as they will go over your child, and pull the strap until it clicks one more time. The click indicates you have pulled it tight enough.I haven't used the seat in the 18kg to 36kg configuration, but from what I read in the manual you remove the 5-point harness and use the car's seatbelt to secure both the child seat and the child.Also, underneath the seat, is a wedge shaped support that can fold out to adjust the recline angle of the seat while fitting it. I kept mine in the default position. There is no way to adjust the recline once the seat is fitted to the car.The chest pads are very wide and long - which translates to comfort and safety. They really do make me feel like my child is well secured.The colour (I chose black) is a nice uniform and deep colour. The fabric wipes clean easily, and all the covers are easily removed for washing.Two things I did notice, coming from a Group 1 ISOFIX seat, is that seats that are held in place by a seatbelt do indeed feel much less secure than an ISOFIX seat for younger kids. Of course, this applies to all seats for older children, including this one. So this is normal. It was just something I noticed that didn't feel right and I'm putting it here to help reassure any other new parents that become worried about this. It's OK! Even with Soft Latch ISOFIX and a seatbelt, it is not going to feel as secure as a younger child seat that's solidly locked into the frame of your car via rigid ISOFIX connectors. The second thing is that I found that the child seat seems to not face perfectly forward - it points slightly towards the middle of my car. However, on examining the the seat of my car, it seems that the rear passenger seats in my car do this too! The child seat seems to sit at the same angle as the car's rear seats - so I guess that's normal too.Of course, perhaps one of the more important things to mention is that my 2 year old daughter also loves the seat. We had it squeezed between the two arms of one of my comfy chairs in the front room for a day until I had time to fit it to the car. She sat in it, of her own accord, in the front room for 2 hours! She only got out of it because she wanted some dinner. During dinner she kept asking "Can I sit in my new car seat after dinner?", and then sat in it for a further 2 hours before bedtime. She loves it! We've also been on a 5 hour journey with it with no complaints. She's mentioned "I love my new car seat!" several times. So there you go! The ultimate seal of approval!Finally, I would like to mention that Britax Customer Services are brilliant. I've had to contact them a few times over the past 3 years that I've owned 3 different models of their seats (not due to any fault of the seats - just for advice and a spare part), and each time they've helped me quickly and professionally.

It’s very convenient to be able to use it in a non-ISOfix car as well, as the security clips are hidden inside the seat. It’s quite easy to fit in the car, only requires a bit more patience when the seatbelt is shorter than usual. And my daughter loved it so much she’d fell asleep within 3 minutes most of the times, unless she was singing and playing. :)

Can't really fault it to be honest. Its not the sort of seat that your swap and change between cars, its rock solid, doesnt move one bit when fitted properly and the belt/ buckles are high quality. My daughter use to kick off getting into her old seat but this one has her tantrums down to a minimum. I left it in the recline position which is just right.I would recommend it for those who want it to be permanently in one car. Im sure there are other seats that are better but for me for the price, go for it.

Great quality and at a good price. Slightly more complicated to install than previous car seats of the same make. Would recommend!

Köpte tyvärr denna i tron att den gick att använda bakåt, men endast framåtvänd.

Prodotto di ottima fattura. Al contrario di alcune recensioni trovo che il montaggio sia semplice e comodo. Il seggiolino è di buona fattura, i materiali del rivestimento sono buoni e la soluzione costruttiva tenta di garantire una buona aerazione della schiena del passeggero. Considerato il prezzo, il marchio ed il prodotto in sé direi ottimo.

Ich kann noch nicht viel sagen über den Kindersitz da ich ihn erst seit kurzem im Gebrauch habe, aber das was ich sagen kann ist nur positiv. Preisleistung stimmt, die Verarbeitung ist top, der Sitz lässt sich einfach ein und ausbauen und sitzt bombenfest. Ich kann dem Römersitz nur weiterempfehlen.

Me ha gustado muchísimo esta silla porque ahora si siento q mi hijo va cómodo y seguro, la que tenía sk no había manera de que él aguantara un paseo ahí metido, pero con esta va feliz y hasta se duerme, de verdad súper recomendada

Très bien de bonne qualité pour un prix raisonnable ! Ma fille est à l'aise a l'intérieur et en sécurité je recommande ! Facile à installer grâce à l'isofix.
