Britax's D-SIP technology provides the safest travel solution for your baby from birth 
(10/06/2010)
New research reveals that 1 out of 4 car accidents are side collisions, which account for 20% of all child car crash fatalities.
Britax has developed D-SIP®, a new patented technology that provides superior side impact protection. This innovative safety device is only available with the NEW BABY-SAFE plus II and BABY-SAFE plus SHR II, launching this month.
Providing the ideal and safest travel solution for your baby from birth, these must-have new infant carriers not only provide superior side impact protection, but also boast a softly padded seat and headrest add to your baby’s safety and comfort. The headrest and harness height can be easily adjusted from the front, while the patented integral recline system allows for a flatter position for your newborn to lie.
NEW D-SIP®, a D-shaped ring, is engineered into both sides of the infant carriers and simply folds out and is locked into place with an audible click. In the event of a side collision, the D-SIP® makes the first contact with the car door and absorbs and disperses the crash energy into the entire shell of the infant carrier, diverting the forces away from your baby. This provides your baby with superior protection, and you with ultimate peace of mind.
In the first few months of their lives, newborns should be allowed to lay flat as much as possible to help with their spine development. Alongside the new technology, the BABY-SAFE infant carriers are designed to provide a safer, more comfortable lying position for your baby and have been designed with an integral Recline System which is automatically positioned when the height of the headrest and harness system is adjusted. At its lowest point the seat provides a flatter lying position enabling a healthier and more comfortable way to transport newborns. When the height is raised, the system allows for a sitting position, providing optimum protection for older babies.
To ensure the highest standard of safety and protection whilst travelling with babies, parents should look to choose the safest infant carrier first then select a travel system which works with the seat. To ensure this process is as smooth as possible, the new Britax infant carriers are compatible with the Britax B-MOBILE, B-SMART and B-DUAL as well as other leading brands’ pushchairs, meaning you can always travel with the knowledge that your little one is safe and secure.
As well as being engineered for safety, comfort and convenience the new BABY-SAFE Britax infant carriers have been designed with style and simplicity. The carriers are available in a range of colours and fabrics and the Single-Handed Release (SHR) system on the BABY-SAFE plus SHR II allows the infant carrier to be easily removed and transferred between car and pushchair with just one hand.
