Britax Duo Plus Isofix

Posts Tagged ‘britax duo plus’

Even with a great seat like the Britax Duo Plus Isofix, getting your children in them and keeping them in, especially during long journeys, is not the easiest thing in the world as most parents know. Parents will typically have to have highly tuned powers of persuasion! One such way is to give them something to do to make the idea of being in the seat more interesting.

Tell your child that this is their seat, and belongs to them only. Add that you have brought it for them not only to keep them safe, but as it is higher than their seats, they will be able to see out of the window more easily. The last thing you want to do is to tell them of the horrors that could happen to them if they didn’t allow you to strap them in! You are likely to instil a fear of riding in a car at all!

If they are older, let them choose the colour and become involved in the buying decision. Personalise the seat so it’s easily recognisable and make sure they have play things to keep them occupied.

Some people also attach portable DVD players to the back of the front seat headrest and play one of the child’s favourite films. This will give you over an hour of peace after which, it’s probably time you stopped for a rest anyway and/or the child is likely to be asleep.

Please note that if you have one of the following cars, you also need the Britax Duo Plus Isofic Performance Pad. This is because the duo plus has not passed crash tests without the mat being fitted in these cars.

The mat is simply placed under the fabric of the seat. Easy to fit – just pop under the fabric cover of the chair. It just seems to give a bit of extra padding, but if you have one of the following cars and don’t use it, it is possible you may void the insurance.

You should be able to buy the mat for around £9.
