Britax Römer MAX-SAFE PRO 2 Extended Rear-Facing Car Seat
The Britax Römer MAX-SAFE PRO 2 is the latest generation of Britax Römer's premium extended rear-facing car seat, designed to keep children travelling rear-facing from 61–125cm, up to 36kg – approximately 3 months to 7 years. Building on the MAX-SAFE PRO, the MAX-SAFE PRO 2 combines long-lasting rear-facing protection with easier installation, advanced side-impact protection and a spacious design engineered to accommodate growing children.
Designed and made in Germany, the Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 is approved to the latest UN R129 safety regulation and has passed the demanding Swedish Plus Test. For parents searching for a Swedish Plus Tested car seat, a rear-facing car seat up to 7 years or a 36kg extended rear-facing car seat, the MAX-SAFE PRO 2 provides a long-lasting solution designed around safety, comfort and everyday usability.
What's New with the Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2?
The MAX-SAFE PRO 2 evolves Britax Römer's established MAX-SAFE extended rear-facing platform while retaining the key features that made the previous MAX-SAFE PRO popular with rear-facing families. The latest model combines CLIKTIGHT belt tensioning, automatic retracting lower tethers, SICT side-impact protection, a five-point harness and an adjustable V-shaped headrest in a seat designed for rear-facing travel all the way to 125cm or 36kg.
The MAX-SAFE PRO 2 also accommodates smaller passengers with its infant insert, creating a more supportive and reclined seating position during the early stages of use. As your child grows, the adjustable headrest, harness and additional legroom provided by the Spacer allow the seat to adapt throughout its extended period of use.
Is the Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 Swedish Plus Tested?
Yes. The Britax Römer MAX-SAFE PRO 2 has passed the Swedish Plus Test and is also approved to UN R129. The Swedish Plus Test is an exceptionally demanding voluntary car seat test that measures the forces placed on a child's neck during a frontal collision.
Combined with its extended rear-facing design, this makes the MAX-SAFE PRO 2 particularly relevant for parents comparing Swedish Plus Tested car seats in the UK and looking for independently tested safety credentials beyond the minimum regulatory requirements.
How Long Can a Child Rear-Face in the MAX-SAFE PRO 2?
The Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 is rear-facing only from 61cm to 125cm and up to 36kg, allowing many children to continue travelling rear-facing until approximately 7 years old.
Rear-facing seats support the child's head, neck and back against the car seat during a frontal collision, helping distribute crash forces across a larger area of the body. The extended height and weight limits of the MAX-SAFE PRO 2 therefore allow parents to continue rear-facing well beyond the limits of many conventional toddler car seats.
Advanced SICT Side-Impact Protection
The MAX-SAFE PRO 2 features Britax Römer's Side Impact Cushion Technology (SICT) to provide additional protection in a side collision. The system is designed to reduce the distance between the vehicle and car seat and absorb some of the energy generated during a side impact.
Deep, padded side wings create an additional protective shell around your child, while the V-shaped adjustable headrest is designed to support and protect the head while providing additional space as your child grows.
How is the Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 Installed?
The Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 is a seatbelt-installed extended rear-facing car seat and does not require an ISOFIX base. It is installed using the vehicle's three-point seat belt, Britax Römer's CLIKTIGHT belt tensioning system, automatic retracting lower tethers and a height-adjustable support leg.
CLIKTIGHT is designed to make achieving a secure belt installation more straightforward, while the self-retracting tethers simplify an important part of installing an extended rear-facing car seat. At approximately 9kg, the MAX-SAFE PRO 2 can also be transferred between compatible vehicles when required.
Designed to Grow from Baby to 7 Years
With a generous 61–125cm and 36kg usage range, the Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 is designed to provide years of extended rear-facing travel. Its five-point safety harness, soft performance chest pads and adjustable headrest adapt as your child grows, helping maintain a secure and comfortable fit.
For older children, the compatible Britax Spacer provides up to 8cm of additional legroom, helping maximise comfort as legs grow longer. The removable, machine-washable cover can also be taken off without removing the harness, making the MAX-SAFE PRO 2 practical for everyday family life.
Who is the Britax MAX-SAFE PRO 2 Best For?
The Britax Römer MAX-SAFE PRO 2 is designed for families who want to keep their child rear-facing for as long as possible rather than moving to a forward-facing car seat during the toddler years. Its combination of a 36kg maximum weight, 125cm height limit, Swedish Plus Test certification and UN R129 approval makes it a compelling option for parents prioritising extended rear-facing travel.
It is particularly worth considering if you're searching for a rear-facing car seat up to 7 years, Swedish Plus Tested car seat, 36kg rear-facing car seat, extended rear-facing toddler car seat or the latest Britax MAX-SAFE car seat in the UK.

Britax Max-Safe Pro FAQs
Yes. The Britax Max-Safe Pro has passed the Swedish Plus Test, one of the world's most demanding independent crash tests for child car seats. The test places particular emphasis on neck protection during frontal collisions, making it a highly respected safety benchmark for rear-facing car seats.
The Britax Max-Safe Pro is suitable from approximately 3 months (61cm) up to 125cm in height and 36kg in weight. This means many children can travel rear-facing in the seat until around 6–7 years of age, depending on their growth.
Rear-facing car seats provide significantly better protection for a child's head, neck and spine during a collision. In a frontal impact, crash forces are distributed across the back of the seat rather than being concentrated on the neck and shoulders. Safety experts recommend keeping children rear-facing for as long as possible, and the Britax Max-Safe Pro is designed specifically to support extended rear-facing travel.
No. The Britax Max-Safe Pro is installed using your vehicle's seat belt, lower tether straps and support leg. This installation method allows the seat to accommodate larger children and achieve its extended rear-facing weight limit of up to 36kg, while also fitting a wide range of vehicles.
The Britax Max-Safe Pro is designed to fit many modern vehicles thanks to its compact shell and flexible installation system. However, as vehicle layouts vary, we recommend checking your vehicle compatibility or contacting our expert team for personalised fitting advice before purchasing.
For parents prioritising maximum safety and extended rear-facing travel, the Britax Max-Safe Pro is often considered one of the best alternatives to a rotating car seat. While rotating seats offer convenience, the Max-Safe Pro allows children to remain rear-facing for significantly longer and carries the prestigious Swedish Plus Test certification, making it a popular choice among safety-conscious families.
