While nine models received a 'good' rating, seven received a 'satisfactory' rating, while two models received an 'unsatisfactory' rating. For this test session, it was the Joie i-Spin Safe<\/strong>a Swivel car seat<\/a> for children from birth to 18 kg (up to approx. 4 years) certified from More Test<\/a><\/strong>with the highest score. New this year, in addition to the traditional tests, the ADAC and TCS have also carried out the following tests several simulations of installation errors<\/strong> in order to use these results for prevention purposes.

    <\/span>The most common installation errors<\/span><\/h2>\n

    As you will no doubt have realised, buying the best car seat<\/a> of the world is not enough to effectively protect your child<\/strong> if it is incorrectly installed. It is even just the opposite is likely to happen<\/strong> in the event of an accident. In fact, almost 2 out of 3 children are systematically not properly restrained in the car.<\/a> Incorrect installation simply renders the seat totally ineffective. To avoid this, ADAC recommends that you always to tighten the belt<\/strong>without ever twisting it, and position it correctly in the strap guides<\/strong> This is the only way to effectively restrain the child in the event of an impact. Likewise, jackets and\/or coats must always be removed<\/strong> to position the belt as close as possible to the child's body. This will prevent the child from slipping between the straps and being thrown violently into the vehicle.<\/p>\n

    The cars are all different, each car seat will fit differently<\/strong> for example, rear seat recline<\/strong>, available space<\/strong> at the rear or the number of passengers<\/strong>. So, when you have the opportunity, the best thing to do is to take your child and your vehicle with you to try out the different models<\/strong> of interest to you.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Excessive levels of toxic substances<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Since 2011, pollutant content<\/strong> contained in the fabrics of each of the car seats tested is one of the criteria<\/strong> taken into account in the final crash test score. Too high a concentration of pollutants systematically leads to an overall downgrading of the rating<\/strong> of each offending model. This is what happened to the Babystyle Oyster Capsule<\/strong>a baby cosy<\/a> for infants from birth to 15 months, which despite good results in terms of safety, operation and ergonomics, has had its final score downgraded. due to a content of flame retardants TCPP and TDCP<\/strong> exceeding the set limit.<\/p>\n
