1 · Collect

Every published result

Crash-test grades from ADAC, ratings from consumer organisations across Europe, IIHS booster ratings, Australian CREP crash-test stars and hands-on reviews. We keep each result as the tester published it.

2 · Put on one scale

0 to 100, comparable

A German "gut 1.6" becomes 78, a Which? score of 78% stays 78. A joint test republished by several organisations counts once. Older tests count for less.

3 · Rank with confidence

More tests count for more

A product needs several tests that agree to reach the top. A recent safety failure or Don't Buy caps the score whatever else it got. How the score works

KidShortlist

We don't test products ourselves. Every score here comes from an independent tester and links back to it. We combine 4,061 results from 26 sources.

Read before buying

Several testers are paywalled, so we only include what they publish openly. Models change and get recalled. Check the tester's own page and the retailer listing before you buy.
