ADAC: four seats deficient

The ADAC tested together with the Stiftung Warentest Car Seats. Four times it had the testers rated "poor" award.
A model (alpine daisy) fell by a side crash, three others offered a head-on crash is not enough security.
Here either broke down or the seat belt from the child seat ripped and threw a dummy from the vehicle. Danger for small occupants!
In the test, 22 seats were for the weight classes from nine to 36 pounds on the bench. Besides the four defective seats ten models cut as "good", seven "satisfactory", with a "sufficient" off.
The ruling "very well received" none of the seats. In the frontal crash put the ADAC to stricter standards than required by the minimum legal requirements.
With a speed of 64 km / h, it was based on real accident loads. Even Side is not for the approval of seats required. The ADAC conducted the test with yet, because children are especially vulnerable in side impacts.
 Were seats with Isofix (an attachment, which is anchored in the vehicle) in earlier tests particularly safe, now appeared: Isofix is not automatically good. The construction of the seat has to fit it. Thus went the IWH babymax despite Isofix with "poor" out of the race.
In the best infant carriers of the test (Römer Baby Safe Plus and Cybex Aton) the children to travel rearward facing. So their cervical spine is better protected. Experts recommend the rearward-facing seat for children up to four years.
In older children is important that the seat has backrest, headrest and side protection. Belt and booster seat are not enough in an accident. Whether the child seat forward or back will play for the safety of no importance.
