ADAC Car seat Test in 2012 Five-Seat Failure

Adequate protection for child seats is still not self-evident - that was a test of ADAC and Stiftung Warentest. Five out of 17 seats were "inadequate".

T he ADAC and Stiftung Warentest have tested 33 children seats. Result: 17 seats were rated as "good", none fell through because of excessive pollution. Adequate protection, however, still not self-evident: The five candidates Graco Logico L, Graco Junior Maxi Easycarseat Inflatable, Kiddy Guardianfix Pro and Peg Perego Viaggio convertible in terms of safety lost out with "poor". A high price is no guarantee of safety, which shows the Peg Perego Viaggio Convertibile. He failed completely in the safety and costs 209 euros. Even more expensive is the Kiddy Guardianfix Pro. He also receives a "poor", at a price of no less than 269 euros. Of the five defective products, three are failed the side crash. ADAC calls for the crash site as soon as possible is part of the official certification process for child seats.

In terms of pollutants show the consumer protection activities of success: The predecessor of Maxi Cosi and Phil & Teds Tott Rodifix got XT because of the high concentration of pollutants in the last ADAC test is a "poor". The current models have been improved so that they in this discipline is now even a "very good" progress. In this year's study were tested for child safety seats in all weight classes in the criteria of safety, ergonomics and handling, pollutant concentration, purification and processing. Important for parents is the subject of child safety seat: The youngest must be properly secured in the seat for every ride. Before buying you should be sure to explain handling and installation. It also recommends the ADAC, the seat of the vehicle's test - because not every product fit perfectly in any car.
