Britax Römer DUALFIX 5Z i-Size Car Seat · 360° Rotation with SICT inside
The DUALFIX 5Z is an excellent next step after the BABY-SAFE PRO or other infant carriers: it clicks onto the VARIO BASE 5Z (required) and gives you 360° rotation, extended rearward-facing and premium day-to-day comfort with 12 recline positions.
What matters in 15 seconds
Important: VARIO BASE 5Z is required
The DUALFIX 5Z cannot be used without the VARIO BASE 5Z. The seat clicks onto the base. The base installs in the vehicle using ISOFIX + a support leg, adding stability and making daily use simpler.
Check your vehicle
The base is designed for i-Size seating positions or compatible ISOFIX seats. Check your vehicle handbook or the manufacturer’s Fit Finder.
Click & go
Place the seat onto the base and it locks in. Ideal if you want a consistent, quick system after an infant carrier.
Support leg stability
The support leg helps reduce unwanted movement and adds extra stability to the base + seat setup.
Why the DUALFIX 5Z works so well in real life
A clear, decision-ready summary: protection, comfort, ease of use, and growth.
1) 360° rotation for easy buckling
Rotate towards the door in tight parking spaces, seat your child comfortably, buckle calmly, then rotate back to travel position.
2) Side impact protection with SICT inside
SICT inside is integrated side-impact protection designed to help manage energy in the event of a side collision.
3) 12 reclines for genuine comfort
With 6 rearward-facing and 6 forward-facing recline positions, you can fine-tune posture for naps or upright exploring.
4) Grows with your child (V-shaped headrest + 5-point harness)
The V-shaped headrest adjusts as your child grows, while the 5-point harness helps distribute forces in a collision.
Tip: within the approved range, many safety specialists recommend keeping children rearward-facing for as long as possible.
