How to install and use the Britax-Römer Max-Safe Pro rear facing car seat 

Thank you so much! That’s lovely to hear.

Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you. 🙂

Thank you so much!

You're very welcome!

Completely agree. The manual might as well have been written in Ancient Greek.

Hi, Thank you!! I will do a Safe-Way M video as soon as it stops raining, hahaha! These two seats are actually almost identical, the only differences are that the Safe-Way doesn't have the legroom spacer and has tether straps that have to be pulled tight by hand. It also doesn't have the side impact block that you can see on the side of the Max-Safe Pro. The installation is exactly the same.

Hi, The Safe-Way M video is up now. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QuMVOC7bHCw.html

Oh wow, that's aound the time that i first started. :) The insert says up to 87cm, but some children will fit for longer.

Hi, In older cars with storage compartments you can either extend the car seat's leg into the bottom of the open compartment, or fill it and keep the lid closed. Some manufacturers do a filler. Newer cars that have come out since 2013 are i-Size compatible and their boxes have reinforced lids that are safe to use with car seat support legs. This car is a new model that came out in 2014, so there's no need to worry about the storage compartment.

Measured at headrest height, it needs about 77cm without the legroom spacer and 85 with.

@@RearFacingToddlers amazing, thanks so much

@@RearFacingToddlers I’ve ordered it today, thanks for the great video I’ll use it for installing it’ll defo fit in my car I’ve checked the space ☺️

It depends on the car. Some cars have quite flat seats, others are more sloped. A rear facing car seat will be more upright in a car with sloped seats, so in those cars seats with a recline option are better.

With the legroom spacer this seat takes up more room than the Minikid 2, so if your front passenger is tall, the Minikid 2 is better.

Yes absolutely. If the leg misses the box you don’t need to fill it.

@@RearFacingToddlers amazing, thank you. Can it go on top of a filled box if filled with the manufacturer approved fillers?

Yes, it can.

I will do one as soon as I can, the weather has not been very good lately. The Safe-Way M is almost identical to the Max-Safe Pro, the only installation differences are that the Safe-Way does not have a legroom spacer and the tether have to be pulled tight manually.

The fact that it last much longer and is rear facing only. The Max-Safe Pro is a rear facing only seat up to 125cm or 36kg, that’s about seven years. The Sirona only goes up to 105cm or 18kg, which is roughly four years. The Sirona can face forward from 15 months of 76cm, whereas the Max-Safe Pro is rear facing only up to seven years. This makes the Max-Safe Pro a much safer choice, the longer a child can rear face, the safer.

@@RearFacingToddlers I’m just wondering if it would be too bulky for our Vauxhall astra

Without the legroom spacer it takes up 77cm of depth and with its 85cm. I think the Sirona is closer to the 77cm, definitely no more than 80. But it doesn’t last anywhere near as long as the Max-Safe Pro.
