Car seat romer king plus DIY styrofoam repair

lousy chair, would not recommend to anyone.
finally sold it!

I have two sons - 1.5g / 13kg / 90cm and 3.6g / 15kg / 110cm.
Used: Maxi-Cosi Citi, romer king plus, Carmate Swing moon (still using), Evenflo Symphony e3 DLX ProComfort Series (using)
3-4 times a year we go 1000 km there and back 1000, the road takes 15 hours.
Children spend several hours in the car every weekend.
Hyundai Santa Fe car.

I recommend to everyone: Carmate Swing moon (still using), Evenflo Symphony e3 DLX ProComfort Series (using)

We chose a child car seat today, read a lot of the same type of reviews about “safe” and “comfortable” products from Romer.
since all the reviews are of the same type, and the links to crash tests date back to six years ago, we decided that we should go to the store ourselves and watch it live.
In the store, we found only one model of the Romer car seat, while, according to the seller, it is very budgetary - only 27,000 rubles!

Well, ok, let's go look. Immediately struck by the fact that the chair does not have any seals - it's just plastic with a rag millimeter cape!
What safety can there be if the sidewalls and the headrest are made of foam, the material does not breathe and does not ventilate, the belts for a one-year-old child are already under tension, installation with a “tambourine”, the position of the seats is not intended for long trips?

Conclusion - for this money you can buy 4-5 car seats or one innovative one with airbags.

We were given a second chair, but naturally the foam was not preserved. I need spare parts for foam sides and a headrest, I want to order in Germany, but the delivery is painfully expensive, I propose to unite. Is there anyone who wants to order foam plastic spare parts for the Romer King plus or safefix car seat at the same time?
Or maybe someone directly from Germany wants a new chair, and I'll "sit down"

Which I need, only for those models that I wrote above. from the site you can order for other models, the site has spare parts for almost all models. If interested, write a model, I'll see what is there. To navigate the prices for my model, the styrofoam kit costs 16 euros, and the headrest 12.

[Message modified by user 03/04/2016 12:37 PM]

this is a fairly old model, that is, it has been used for at least 4-5 years, or even more.

it is not natural. This means that the chair is either very old, misused, or emergency.

Where is the guarantee that the problems of the chair are only in the foam? And it will do its job even if you stick the styrofoam back on?

You can find another chair, albeit it is in the best condition, you can find options for new safe seats, but if you do not run into the Romer brand, then you can choose fairly budget options, but having a guarantee that there is no damage, and, accordingly, a guarantee that the child's seat will save in an accident. You will not carry a bag of potatoes, but your loved one. which cannot be repaired with new foam.

For me, when choosing a car seat (and we already bought 3 of them), the main, and therefore the decisive role, is played by the safety of this seat. Therefore, the choice for the Romer King Plus was mainly based on the results of the world crash tests for the safety of car seats. This model of the chair has successfully passed the tests of the German avoclub ADAC back in 2008, showing good data in all areas of testing (the main of which is safety and comfort).

This chair was used by the older and now the youngest child, so the total service life is already 4 years.
The chair is designed for children 9-18 kg. For comfort, I find the Romer King Plus chair great. Quite wide - the child is comfortable and comfortable even in winter clothes:

In its group I, this is probably the most roomy chair.
On both sides of the car seat - detailed instructions for installation in the car:

The installation is, in principle, simple, even a woman can handle it. The chair opens and the belts are pulled along the guides.
The Romer King Plus is a forward facing only. Can be installed in both the front and rear seats:

The lying position is rather “reclining”:

This position is quite comfortable for sleeping. Certainly not like in a bed, but for the safe transportation of children, there cannot be a greater inclination.
The headrest is height adjustable (depending on the child's height). The lowest position of the baby's head:

Highest position of the headrest:

The seat belts are five-point. There are pockets on the sides where you can insert the straps when getting the baby in or out:

Inside there is a compartment where instructions in different languages ​​are stored.

The instructions for the Romer King Plus car seat have all the main points from installation to disposal, in principle, as it should be:

Covers are all removable and washable. the straps for cleaning / washing can also be removed. There is an additional soft layer under the booty for comfort:

Without a cover, the Romer King Plus car seat looks like this:

The chair was used quite often for long distances, therefore, after such trips, the cover often had to be removed and washed. It fits quite tightly on the frame. At the next removal, I had the imprudence to spoil the piece of "foam" of the upper part - it just broke off:

When they started to glue with glue-moment, the glue simply eats away at this material. Therefore, we glued it with construction glue. After that, I bought an additional top cotton cover (in order to remove only it for washing, and leave the main cover, thereby not exposing the foam part to the danger of breaking it again:

Therefore, for those who purchase this car seat, I recommend immediately buying an additional cover - once again you will not touch the inner fragile parts (the additional cover is no longer worn so tightly), and in the summer with such a cotton cover, the child is more comfortable in the chair, it is not so hot.
Made in Germany.

The seat is good for comfort and as the crash tests for safety assure (and I tend to trust the results of independent tests). I have never regretted purchasing it.
About other car seats my children use:
Car seat Peg-Perego Primo Viaggio Tri Fix (group 0+)

I put in a four. I chose with fanaticism and looked at all the characteristics. I wanted to get away from choosing a Romer King Plus car seat because our nephew was sitting in cramped conditions for 1.5 years. and I wanted something different, because well, everyone I know has this chair. And I found another axiss car seat with a swivel seat. And we went to the store to touch it, twirl it, put the child. This “axiss car seat with a swivel seat” turned out to be a terrible inconvenience, firstly for a large car, and secondly, it turns only in one direction. Only where you initially set it up during installation, put it on the right door and do not touch it! To unfold it, it is necessary not only to break the nails. In general, I gave up on this idea. Well, the seller said that Romer King Plus is the most demanded and often sold. Well, a variety of colors, you want a zebra, you want a giraffe, and you want a bull. And you can buy a cover for the summer. This is also important. And the midsection itself is fastened with a stationary car seat belt, and the baby is already fastened with five-point belts to the seat, not all car seats have this. This is even more reliable, well, unless, of course, responsible parents do everything right, and do not buy a chair from the newly introduced fines

Now about the cons.We, too, when we became 1.5, and even in winter, of course, we were close to each other. We have a girl, and the boy will probably rub it completely between his legs. Chair up to 18 kg, we still have 10 kg. The declared age clearly does not justify, but they did not rush and buy the next age category, because it does not move at all and does not fit on a long journey, since the child's head will fall forward onto his chest and he will hang on the seat belt like a strangled fraught with.

Now about the main thing. She sits there comfortably, her head is well supported, she sleeps soundly, does not cry, maybe because her face in the direction of travel, looks out the window, it’s interesting rather than looking at the seat. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, I recommend the chair, but I would advise you to try it on the baby before buying.

Yes, and inside the foam, so you need to carry it holding on to the belts, otherwise you can unknowingly crumble all the foam, it's all heavy.

Car seat ROMER King Plus. 1 group, for a child 9-18 kg.

I bought instead of a simple cheap (approx. 3000 rubles) car seat that crashed after an accident.
Buying is not cheap, then the price was about 14,000. We have been using it for 5 years. Installed in the car normally, I do not remove it, because this is a dreary procedure, it’s a pity for the nerves. He does not have Isofix, so you need to put it on very securely (when you stretch the belt, press as much as you can, pull, call your relatives 🙂 for help to push it into the seat as much as possible and the belt uncoiled as much as possible), check a hundred times so that it does not dangle longitudinally nor transversely. If everything is done correctly, it holds very tightly, as if it were bolted. After installation, it should not walk either back and forth or left and right in general. A child of normal build will comfortably fit in it up to a maximum of 4 years old. Or up to 3.5 if it's winter outside. The belts are short, the headrest does not rise high.
The armchair folds out to an angle sufficient for comfortable transportation while sleeping. The head lies down and is clearly fixed in the chair, does not dangle on the go.
Washing without problems. Everything is perfectly removed, put on back.
The disadvantage of operation is that it is not convenient to reach the child, the developed upper part of the chair interferes. Also for this reason, the baby can hardly see the environment, the window, the street from the side, etc. But this can easily be sacrificed, safety is more important.

Not checked in an accident, God had mercy. But the ADAC crash test results are reassuring. Check out all ROMER seat models have excellent ratings.
The general impressions are very good: the chair is solid, neat, beautifully strict, heavy, moderately soft. It's nice to have a worthwhile thing. The daughter is very happy, she claims that she is comfortable in it.
For those who have doubts about the absence of Isofix: a seat without Isofix is ​​difficult to install, but it is universal, it can be installed in any car.

In connection with the growing up of the child, the Romer King TS Plus child car seat is being sold. Age group 1 (9-18 kg). The system of attachment to the car seat is a standard seat belt (without Isofix system), the seat is equipped with an additional belt tensioner. 5-point baby harness with soft pads. Height adjustable shoulder straps. 3 positions of backrest recline (for sitting and for sleeping). In 2005, according to the tests of European experts, it received the highest score for safety among the seats with a belt fastening system.

It was bought in 2006, then it was inherited from the older brother to the younger one. The condition is very good, the covers are intact, clean (washed regularly). Now installed in the car, you can agree on the inspection in a personal.

Bright reviews of the owners about Romer King Plus, on the Sony Club mobile portal. Here you can not only read customer reviews, but also leave your review without registration.

I like: Manufacturer, excellent crash test score, child-friendly, reliable, thoughtful. In a word, super) I don't like: The child sweats in him: either the fabric or the shape of the seat.
It is not convenient to reach the child, especially if he fell asleep.
It is difficult to INSTANTLY install, so as not to dangle. Review: I bought instead of a simple cheap (approx. 3000 rubles) car seat that crashed after an accident.

For those who have doubts about the absence of Isofix: a seat without Isofix is ​​difficult to install, but it is universal, it can be installed in any car.

I like: Very convenient and reliable installation in the car. It is very difficult to make a mistake.The meticulous Germans have thought of everything.
Convenient for a child - the head does not dangle, lateral support is good. I don't like it: Of course, the tilt angle in the sleeping position could have been a little sharper. Review: Our first Romer Baby Safe (0+ - by the way, we traveled in it for up to one and a half years) has become too small, replaced by a chair from the same “stable”.
We looked after him when we rented a car abroad. I bribed a convenient simple installation (before that they took something like a Chikkov one, they fiddled with belts for half an hour), a very good shape of the seat - good lateral support, a headrest. High. The child is comfortable.
The washing cover, like the BabySafe, can be easily removed.

Well, the results of the ADAS crash tests also speak for themselves.

In 2012, the renowned manufacturer of the safest child car seats (confirmed by numerous ADAC tests) Romer launched a new product on the market! We are glad to tell you about it!

The Romer Trifix is ​​a Group 1 car seat (9 to 18 kg, from 1 to 4 years), designed to meet new standards and requirements. The Trifix is ​​by far the best model with Isofix mounts up to 18 kg from Romer.

So, let's start by presenting the model:

Now let's take a closer look:

The seat can only be installed in the car using the Isofix system and Top tether. Let us tell you how this happens in more detail.

To make it easier to fix the seat, prepare the vehicle. Attach the guides to the isofix staples. They expand the seat upholstery and open the brackets, and all you have to do is insert the isofix brackets and snap them into place.

Now you need to prepare the chair.

Turn the chair with its back to you. There is a compartment in the middle of the chair body. Remove the backrest cover and release the Top Tether (fig. 1, 2). Then look down and you will see a gray strap under the arrow sticker. Pull this strap towards you, as shown in figure 3. If you did everything correctly, the Isofix brackets will appear at the base of the seat. And now the chair is ready for installation in the car.

Turn the chair to face you. Slide the Top Tether up. It will be more convenient for you if you put it on the panel behind the rear seats of the car. Until the moment you need to fasten it. Insert the Isofix brackets into the previously installed rails. Snap them onto the Isofix brackets. If you did everything correctly, the indicators at the base of the chair change from tap color to green (see photo)

Let's proceed with the correct fixation of the belt. Look at Figure 1. see. A buckle like that? Find it on your chair and, while holding it, pull on the belt in order to loosen it. Locate the seat belt eyelet in the car. They are usually found on the back panel, in the trunk, or on the back of the car seat (from the luggage compartment). Pull the strap in the direction of the eyelet and attach the carabiner. Then pull on the tail of the Top Tether; a green bar will appear on the left side of the strap. The thickness of the green mark must be at least 1 cm. Do not forget to hide the "tail"

To unfasten the chair, you need to do everything in the reverse order. Namely: while holding and pulling on the buckle, loosen the belt. Then unhook the carabiner from the Top Tether fixing loop. Then press the gray buttons at the base of the front seat. The Latching Indicators will change from green to red when the seat is unfastened.

Well, well ... With the installation figured out. I sincerely hope that you will not repeat this process often. Now let's move on to the manipulations that will have to be performed a little more often than installing a child seat in the car.

Fastening and unfastening the inner harness buckle is simple. To unfasten the lock, press in the red button and remove the lock parts. To fasten the lock, you need to fold both parts of the lock from the shoulder straps (note that there are grooves in the elements of the lock that must match) and push into the lock until it clicks.

In the Romer Trifix model, everything is thought out to the smallest detail.Even the belt pads have a new shape and design compared to previous Romer models. The overlays are now solid and wider.

To make it easier for the baby to sit in the chair, special "pockets" are provided for holding the locks in its design. The locks fixed in this way will not get under the baby's butt, and you will not have to twirl it in the chair again. Children from this become very moody 

As you know, small children often sleep in a car. Therefore, tilt adjustment is simply a salvation for parents. Trifix, thanks to the development of the engineers and designers of the Romer plant, has a seat tilt function. Press the button on the base of the chair bowl (dark gray) and pull the seat towards you. This will change the angle of the seat for a more comfortable ride for your baby. To return the chair to the "sitting" position, you also need to hold down the key and push the chair towards the back of the car seat.

The car seat is equipped with a height-adjustable headrest. The adjustment is now very simple and convenient. If earlier it was necessary to "nod" with the headrest and help with the other hand, then this model has a special loop for adjusting its height.

Pull the eyelet up to raise the headrest to the desired height. Just remember to loosen the inner straps before doing this.

To loosen the internal seat belts, you need to press the button in the middle of the base (gray) and pull the belts towards you, taking them under the pads. To tighten the belts, you need to fasten the lock and pull the "tail".

And this is a completely new patented invention by Romer. This insert simulates an adult airbag. That is, at the time of the accident, it moves into the seat, softening the impact of the baby on the sidewall. There are 4 such pillows in the chair, 2 on each side - to protect the head and to protect the pelvis.

The covers can be easily removed even from a fixed chair. They can be washed even in a machine in a delicate wash cycle using a special washing bag.

There are several options for the seat upholstery.

Trendline - synthetics + cotton - smooth surface

Highline - fleecy fabric with more cotton than Trendline

You can compare the Romer Trifix model with the following models:

- Romer SafeFix Plus - slightly cheaper. It is possible to install not only on Isofix, but also with a 3-point standard car belt.

- Maxi-Cosi Pearl + famaliFix - this model is cheaper. Consists of 2 parts. The angle of inclination of the chair is slightly larger.

- Concord Absorber XT - much cheaper model. The seat is installed on the Isofix mount and on the standard car seat belt.

Advantages: A very comfortable chair, the child falls asleep in it instantly and sleeps for a long time. Very comfortable headrest. Convenient tilt adjustment - while driving, you can easily tilt the car if the child falls asleep. The cover is very easy to remove and put on. Excellent fastening with regular belts. The chair sits like a glove - no isofix is ​​needed.

Disadvantages: The design of the belts - they shorten as the headrest is lifted up.

Comment: We used the chair from 9 months to 4 years (15.5 kg, height 103 cm). Still, we would have gladly traveled for six months for sure, but we decided to buy the next group for the winter so that it would be more comfortable in winter clothes. If it was summer, they would not even think about changing the chair. Very comfortable. Nothing broke, the foam didn't crumble, only the fabric burned out a little from the sun. We used the chair almost every day, since the kindergarten is far from home. I highly recommend it to everyone - a high-quality, comfortable, safe chair.

Advantages: The model is very pleasant, the child is comfortable, we have been using it for more than a year, during sleep the head does not move out of the sidewalls, it is easy to install if you understand the principle.

Commentary: For those who cannot increase the belts - at the base of the belts there is a button inside, you can press it and pull the belt with the other hand - it will increase, and you can easily fasten your child. True, my child is still 90 cm and he is almost three years old, let's see what happens in a year.

Advantages: The child is comfortable, climbs with pleasure
The fabric will not fade or rub off
High crash test results
Fastened with a regular belt - can be installed in any car

Disadvantages: Heavy, no handles for easy portability
Child 2 years 7 monthsmedium build in outerwear (winter) the belts are already short. On many sites I saw instructions that when you put a child in a chair, you need to take off your outerwear, otherwise, supposedly, safety suffers. In real life, I can't imagine how you can take off the overalls from the child, and then sit him down, if it's -10 on the street. It is also impossible in a car with closed doors - it is cramped.
The belt buckle is not very convenient to fasten
No horizontal position
High price

Commentary: The chair served honestly for exactly two years. The only thing that annoyed me was that it was heavy, so I stood in the car all the time, and it was very inconvenient to carry it home and back. In general, it gives the impression of reliability, the child is well fixed, the chair on the seat does not dangle. Nice appearance, not cheap. The sleeping position is not very different from the waking position, but the child did not complain, slept well on the long journey. In general, I advise.

The chair is very well made, used in crash tests. I won't say anything about the fabric, because from the first day a special terry cover was put on the chair. One of the best. The only thing that is on them in Ukraine is my opinion, in comparison with Europe, the price is too high.

The chair is super! I highly recommend it to everyone! We travel with the child very often, the baby is comfortable sleeping in it and is awake, sits calmly and looks out the window. We have something to compare with, before that there were Janet and Chico's chairs, the child could only ride in them when it was time to sleep, otherwise he tried to get out and screamed 🙁

Some of the safest car seats.

I sell because I have grown out of them.

It is relevant at least until the 20th of January, then most likely I will take it to Moscow, wash the upholstery and put it on Avito at a higher price.

Yes, if you don't like my chairs specifically, I highly recommend buying them. It's easy to find on Avito. Disadvantage 2:

1 heavy - it's hard to drag from car to car over a distance

2 tricks of correct fastening in the car, instructions are available, you must strictly follow them. Incorrectly fastened - just a useless piece of plastic with foam, possibly even impairing safety. My relatives often incorrectly reinforced them according to the principle “it will do just that”.

If necessary, I can show you how to fix it correctly. But in principle, the instructions are very visual, everything is clear.

Review of the Romer King child car seat

The realization of the need to use car seats for transporting children came to me with age. If you think that the safest way to transport children in a car is with a mother in her arms, then you are mistaken: at modern speeds, in which case, hands will not help. Therefore, now we transport our youngest daughter only in a chair - even for short distances in the city, not to mention “long-distance flights”.And all other passengers, by the way, buckle up - and not only in the front row.

The history of buying a car seat began from the moment when my daughter was able to sit, because at the age of six months she went with us on a journey of more than one and a half thousand kilometers, from Kiev to Lugansk and back. By the age of six months, the child can already be seated in the chair of the 1st group, in contrast to the chairs of group 0, which are cradles with attachments.

The wife, armed with the Internet, approached the choice of the chair with all thoroughness: first, the forums were re-read for "live" reviews about the safety and usability of specific models of seats, then articles-reviews of professional journalists were sent, after that - the results of crash tests (by the way, in the West, "crash" tests of seats are no less popular than crash tests of cars: for example, one of the most famous German auto clubs ADAC publishes the results of tests of several dozen models of child car seats annually).

We needed a comfortable, non-marking, safe chair, and preferably not the most expensive models. Of the additional options, only the ISOFIX fastening system was considered, which allows you to install and remove the seat "with one click" - in the grooves located in advance in the car.

By the way, not all rear seats of cars are equipped with such a system - for example, neither Suzuki Swift nor Pajero Wagon have these mounts, in this case the seat attachment system with standard seat belts must be strong and reliable belts used to fasten the baby, and already starting from the 3rd group, more “adult” chairs do not have their own belts: both the chair and the child are “fastened” with a regular belt through special fastening grooves).

By the way, during the search process, an interesting feature emerged - those brands and models of car seats that were fairly well promoted in Ukraine turned out to be either almost unknown in Western countries, or showed relatively modest results in terms of safety and comfort. This happened with several Chicco and Recaro models.

But the models of the manufacturer Romer almost always occupied the top places of the ratings, and the reviews about them were good. As a result, we chose two models: Romer King TS and Romer King TS plus. The "plus" of the second model turned out to be the same "isofix" system, however, in the model without the plus sign, the fastening system with a regular belt was at a height - the chair has its own metal frame through which the car's belt is passed and fastened and after that it snaps on top (attached to the frame ) the chair itself. Everything is done very soundly, there is a belt pretensioning system (so that the standard car belt is always taut, we firmly press the base and the chair itself to the seat).

However, after choosing a model, we faced a small problem - the manufacturer Romer is not officially represented in Ukraine, therefore, it was quite difficult to find a chair at a reasonable price (after all, it is known that the prices of official representatives are usually lower than ordinary dealers, excluding options for outright contraband ). The online store helped out, as in many other matters: the chair ordered in another country arrived safely to us through the delivery service.

First of all, we appreciated the possibility of removing the cover - if in other models it was difficult to remove from the chair, with a bunch of latches, hidden hooks and other tricks, the “Römer” cover came off “like a sock” after loosening the lace along the edge of the cover. Experimentally, within three years, it was found out that juice, berries, plasticine and chocolate did not leave marks on the upholstery, they were washed quite easily. The chair weighs a lot (10 kilograms offhand), but the construction is based on metal - the weight can be forgiven for safety.

The first installation of the chair was not without curiosities - in order to fasten the chair, you first need to fold the seat itself on the hinge, fasten the belt in the grooves of the base frame, then lower and click the “bucket” of the chair itself. However, at the most crucial moment, when I passed my hand between the chair and the frame, fastening the belt into the regular latch, the chair “folded up” on its own, pressing my hand down. There is an emphasis so that the chair does not fall, but it is very unstable. In the future, of course, they adapted, but the sediment (that is, scratches) remained.

Chair reclining mechanism

But my daughter liked the chair. It was comfortable to sleep in it (the tilt of the entire chair relative to the frame can be adjusted with one handle under the chair), to sit high, you can see everything through the window - beauty, and nothing more. We were very pleased with the three-point belts with which the child fastened to the chair itself - all three belts snap into place in one touch, at the level of the child's tummy, they do not interfere with sitting and lying down - unlike the regular seat belt, with which the chairs of the older groups fasten themselves and hold the child. Considering that in modern cars the belts are inertial and self-locking, tying a child and a chair with them through special grooves is still fun.

In general, "a good chair, you need to take it." It’s a pity that we have grown out of him - by the age of three and a half, we bought my daughter a chair for the next group. By the way, also Romer - but that's another story.
