3 point harness car seat vs 5 point

Britax romer is the brand, what’s the car seat? We have the Britax max safe pro.
Isn’t a 3 point harness for an older child in a high backed booster seat?

let me add a photo because it’s a newborn car seat so I’m crazy confused. I’ll have a look at the box as I only unpacked it two days ago xx

oh no this is perfectly safe! We also have this, it’s one of the recommended ones by car safety experts as it’s Swedish plus tested which means they test them to higher crash speeds than most seats xx

oh thank god 🤣 thank you. It’s confused me so much, I fully started panicking haha. Xx

This will last them till around 12 months give or take depending on their height and weight and then look for a good extended rear facing seat. Preferably Swedish plus tested which will keep them rear facing till 36kg (around 6/7 years old roughly) then they’ll be of a safe weight to go into a high backed booster seat xx

Car seat harnesses are different in the UK vs US so that might be where the confusion is coming from?

I think load leg technology makes a much bigger difference than harness type in crash tests.

Just to clarify, what you have there is a 5 point harness, 2 points up top that come over the shoulders, one point each side that comes in over the thighs, and one at the crotch. A 5 point harness should be used rear facing until the child is old enough to move to a high-backed booster, minimum age 5 but if you have a 36kg seat this will likely take you to around age 7. Once in a high backed booster they’ll be using the 3 point belt which is the cars standard seat belt (one point over the shoulder, one over the lap, one at the buckle).
What you’ve likely heard about is the US use of chest clips, they’re illegal on seats here as they need to be able to be unclipped with one movement in an emergency, the only purpose of the US chest clip is to keep the position of the straps correct, which if you have the correct fit shouldn’t be an issue. The chest clips are designed to break apart in a crash.

If you do want/need a belt positioner in the future, you can buy a crash-tested one from besafe. They’re available from places like Amazon too but they’re not safe as not crash tested

ah okay maybe.. I didn’t look at where people were from or the person who made the video. Possibly could be why thank you xxx

thank you. I don’t know if I’m thick but I can’t count the 5 points 🤣🤣 there aren’t any straps that come around the thighs? There’s just the two straps and then the crotch one… but there is like padding at the sides. This is blowing my mind 🤣🙈 xxx

Perfectly safe. UK/EU standards are completely different to the US/CAN/AUS/NZ. In the UK a car seat legally must be one button release so things like chest clips are illegal. You can’t take TikTok seriously xx

Baby safe core is one of the more recommended infant carriers. In the UK they are perfectly safe with 3 points and it's very common with infant carriers. The tictoc was probably American based.
