If you have arrived here and live in the US, sorry, but I’m afraid this particular Britax car seat is not available to you. Try the Britax Marathon 70 or the Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Seat
which are also exceptional products.

The Duo Plus seats have exceptional safety features and have been developed following extensive research by Britax, who, as a manufacturer have stood the test of time.

The only information about specific seats you will find on this site is about Britax. Why? Other makes are certainly good, safe and popular. But when buying car seats and strollers, most people do their research first and decide for themselves. This is what I did, and Britax was my manufacturer of choice.

The Britax Duo Plus ISOFIX compatible car seat is one of the best seats for all round protection you can get for your child.

1. In Group 1, the seat is designed for children and babies from 9-18kgs (9 Months – four Years approx)
2. The Si-Pro system gives excellent side impact protection whilst incorporating a unique and patented pivot link system that provides the best possible protection in any front or rear impact
3. Britax ISOFIX system anchors the child seat directly to the car removing the need for adult seat belts
4. Incorporates ‘pivot link‘, a safety feature patented by, and unique to Britax. This reduces any movement of your child within the seat should an accident occur
5. The Britax Duo Plus Isofix has deeply softly padded side wings for optimum protection from a side impact
6. Adjusta-Fit system allows easy headrest and harness adjustment to accommodate your growing child
7. User friendly side elastics, the seat is capable of reclining in to 3 positions

The Pivot link system is unique to Britax and to Isofix seats and restrains the top part of the seat from excessive movement in addition to the Isofix fitting securing the bottom. To the best of our knowledge, no other Isofix seat has this unique system. Please let us know if you find one as this one feature is why we choose this one particular seat.

The Britax Duo Plus Isofix comes in a range of colourways that include Leon, Olivia, Jet Black and Black Swirls.  There are a few others you can sometimes get hold of, but these four are usually available.

If you happen to need a Britax car seat for a larger baby, or one that lasts up until 12 years (approx) try the Britax Evolva range.

Britax are a manufacturer with a good pedigree for safety and comfort and should be one you are considering when looking for a car seat for your children.

Even with a great seat like the Britax Duo Plus Isofix, getting them in and keeping them in their car seat, 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 to actually keep them in the seats as well! One such way is to give them something to do, 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.
