What Makes a Child Car Seat Safer?
Child safety during car travel is the absolute top priority for every parent. While you will find countless options on the market, Germany’s Britax Römer occupies a truly distinctive place. The brand doesn't merely manufacture child car seats—it actively shapes new global safety standards.
One of the clearest proofs of this leadership is the prestigious award presented to Britax by CLEPA (European Association of Automotive Suppliers) in the Safety category. The brand earned this international recognition for its groundbreaking, innovative technology of automatic harness tensioning within the car seat.
What Is CLEPA, and Why Is This Award So Significant?
CLEPA (European Association of Automotive Suppliers) is the premier association representing European automotive suppliers, founded back in 1959. Today, headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, it unites more than 3,000 major companies worldwide that develop cutting-edge technologies for vehicles and safety systems.
CLEPA is widely regarded as one of the most influential bodies in the European automotive industry, playing a hands-on role in shaping road safety regulations and future industry standards.
Winning a CLEPA Innovation Award is considered the pinnacle of achievement in the automotive world. Britax Römer stands as one of the rare child car seat manufacturers ever to receive such high recognition alongside these industrial giants. It is also quite symbolic that both CLEPA and Britax Römer share a legacy spanning over half a century—with both organizations having recently celebrated their 60th anniversaries.
Britax Römer’s Revolutionary Harness System
According to road safety statistics, the single most common mistake parents make when using a child car seat is insufficient harness tension. This slack drastically reduces the protection level provided to the child during a sudden stop or collision.
Britax Römer solved this critical problem once and for all through its innovative technology:
- Active Tensioning System (ATS): The system continuously monitors strap tension throughout the trip. If the child moves around or the straps loosen, the mechanism automatically pulls the harness back to a perfectly safe tension level;
- Audio and Visual Indicators: A dedicated indicator alerts parents with both light and sound signals the exact moment the harness is correctly and securely fastened;
- 5-Point Safety System: Britax Römer seats feature a 5-point harness that, during an impact, evenly distributes the force across five key directions—over the shoulders, hips, and between the legs—offering maximum physical protection to the child's body.
This technology guarantees that young children remain properly and safely secured throughout the entire drive, even when they are actively moving around in their seat.
