Safety, comfort, and innovation come together in the Defender MAX SIP, a next-generation car seat designed to give parents peace of mind and children a secure, comfortable ride. Engineered for longevity, it grows with your child from a forward-facing harnessed seat to a high-back booster and finally to a backless booster—providing years of reliable protection.
As one of the first car seats to meet the new U.S. side-impact safety standards, the Defender MAX SIP sets a new benchmark in child passenger safety. Its full-body impact protection, anti-torque backrest and headrest, and energy-absorbing EPE foam work together to minimize crash forces, ensuring your child is surrounded by top-tier protection at every stage.

Designed with parents in mind, this seat features a 1-hand, no-rethread harness height adjustment, 9-position adjustable head support, and an infinite-recline system—allowing for quick, hassle-free adjustments as your child grows. The LATCH and top tether system makes installation secure and straightforward, while the visually pronounced belt guides help ensure correct seat belt placement in booster mode.
For all-day comfort, the ultra-plush, premium fabric seat pad is soft yet durable, with removable, machine-washable covers for easy cleanup. An optional interchangeable cup/snack holder keeps drinks and snacks within reach, while the V-shape design and inclined seat plane promote a secure fit and proper positioning.
Recognized as an IIHS Best Bet Booster and awarded by Baby Consumers and Babble as a top-rated car seat, the Defender MAX SIP delivers a level of protection and convenience that families can trust. With advanced side-impact protection and a modern, contoured design, it’s built to keep your child safe—and to set a new standard in car seat safety.
