Safe & Secure: Safety Features of Britax Harnessed Booster Car Seats

Britax Safety - Harness-2-Booster Car Seats


WHAT

Not all car seats are created equal. Britax harness-2-booster seats are designed with exclusive features that work together to help protect your child.

SafeCell Technology, located in the car seat base, acts as a crumple zone to help absorb energy during a crash. 

All Britax harness-2-booster seats also include our patented v-shaped tether, high-strength steel frame, 5-point safety harness, and various levels of side impact protection.


WHERE

WHY

At Britax, we feel that "safe enough" simply isn't good enough for your child.  That's why our car seats include features that provide energy absorption and movement limitation in a collision, helping to keep your child safe and giving you peace of mind along the way.


HOW

Each technology has a separate function, but all work together to help keep your child safe and secure in the event of a crash.

  • SafeCell Technology acts as a crumple zone, absorbing crash energy to help keep it away from your child.
  • High-Strength Steel Frame reinforces the seat structure to help keep it sturdy and stabilized. 
  • V-Shaped Tether has a unique two-strap design that slows forward movement, and rows of stitching that "give-way" one at a time in the event of a crash.
  • Side Impact Protection surrounds your child's head, neck and torso. We offer varying levels of side impact protection in our different harness-2-booster models.
    • 2 layers of side impact protection: a deep protective shell helps absorb crash forces, and an foam-lined headrest helps keep your child's head and neck secure.
    • 3 layers of side impact protection: a deep protective shell helps absorb crash energy, a foam-lined headrest helps keep your child's head and neck secure, and external cushions compress to help divert energy away from your child.
