⚠ Don't Buy⚠ Failed a safety test⚠ Recalled Listed at £349 Listed on public Which? Don't Buy page (https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/child-car-seats/article/which-dont-buy-child-car-seats-adDS07f6KrWI); numeric score is members-only. Public safety alert: This child car seat has passed the regulatory tests required by ECE R129/i-Size to be sold as suitable for children from 40cm to 85cm, which is from birth to 15 months old. But in our own tests, conducted at higher speeds and forces than the standard requires, this seat scores poorly in frontal impact when used with the base and connected via Isofix. When the seat is set up in an inclined position, the buckle of the shoulder harness opens and the dummy is thrown through the vehicle. These issues weren’t found when the car seat was set up with the seat in a fully upright position or when installed into the vehicle using the three-point seatbelt. Britax has issued a recall for this car seat ... joint_program round inferred from first-review month.

Voor extra comfort kun je het stoeltje in een meer liggende stand zetten. Maar in deze situatie schoot tijdens de botsproef de gordel van het stoeltje open. Hierdoor werd de testdummy uit het zitje geslingerd. We hebben het stoeltje ook op 2 andere manieren getest: Met de autogordel, zonder gebruik van het Isofix-onderstel.
