Britax Römer Adventure Plus 2 High-Back Booster Car Seat - Midnight Grey

Overview

The Adventure Plus 2 is a forward-facing high-back booster seat from Britax Römer for children 100-150 cm tall (about 3.5 to 12 years, per Britax). It is installed with the car's 3-point seat belt only, which makes it a practical choice for cars without ISOFIX anchor points. This is the Midnight Grey version, model number 2000036853.

Key features (per Britax, the user manual and the Amazon.sa listing)

• Approved to UN ECE R129/03 (i-Size booster seat).
• Height-adjustable headrest that grows with your child, plus a backrest that adjusts to the angle of the car seat.
• Belt guides that position the lap and shoulder belt over the child's hips and shoulder.
• Light at 5.2 kg and slim; Britax says three seats fit side by side in the back row of many cars.
• Removable cover that can go in the washing machine (per ADAC).
• Made in Germany.

What tests and reviews found

• In ADAC's October 2023 test it scored 2.3 "good" overall (lower is better): safety 2.2, handling 2.5, ergonomics 1.9, pollutants 1.0.
• ADAC found a low risk of injury in both the frontal and the side crash, good belt routing and a stable fit in the car.
• ADAC's criticisms: slightly higher risk of incorrect use, minor workmanship flaws and thin padding.
• In the same ADAC round, the CYBEX Solution T i-Fix (2.0) and Maxi-Cosi RodiFix S i-Size (2.1) scored a little better.
• Que Choisir describes it as a simple, fairly cheap, compact and light booster; it replaces the original Adventure Plus, which Que Choisir had flagged for a design flaw in the height-adjustment lock.
• The Amazon.sa listing holds 4.7/5 from 318 ratings, 81% of them five stars; reviews shown come from several Amazon countries.

Who it suits

• Children from about 4 years old (ADAC's advice) up to 150 cm.
• Families whose car has no ISOFIX, or who move the seat often between cars, such as for grandparents or carpooling.
• Anyone who needs to fit a booster next to other car seats in a narrow back row.

Limits before buying

• No ISOFIX: the seat is held only by the car's belt. If you want ISOFIX connectors, Britax sells an ISOFIX twin called the Discovery Plus 2.
• The Amazon.sa bullet points mention ISOFIX connectors, but those describe the Discovery Plus 2; Britax and ADAC confirm the Adventure Plus 2 is belt-only.
• In some cars the headrest can't be raised fully for lack of space; Britax says to use it only up to 135 cm in those cars.
• ADAC rated the padding as thin, which may matter on long trips.
• The car's buckle must not sit in or in front of the dark-green lap-belt guide; if it does, choose another seating position.

Care and use

• Buckle the seat in with the car belt even when it's empty, so it can't fly around in a sudden stop.
• Never use the seat without its original cover; the cover is part of the safety system.
• Clean plastic parts with mild soapy water and no solvents.
• Replace the seat after any accident above 10 km/h, even if no damage is visible.
• Don't leave it in strong direct sun when not in use, since parts can get hot.
