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.

But in our own tests, which are conducted at higher speeds and forces than the standard requires, this seat scores poorly for frontal impact when used with the base and connected using Isofix.
