Check number ECE-R 44

When buying a child seat, it is particularly important to make sure that no lower inspection number is recorded on the car seat. If this is the case, it is a car seat that can no longer be used because it no longer complies with safety regulations. The following test criteria are taken into account in a test and should be positive:

• Frontal impact on a barrier with 50 km / h
• Rear impact at 30 km / h

Here it is important that the belt load is at a maximum of 60 g and the head load is about 1.000 g. When awarding a test number is usually an orange label, which falls directly into the eye. Child seats marked with ECE-R 44 can easily be used by your child up to 2018.

For child car seats designed for this standard, an Isofix mounting system should be available. Is this attachment system not, can at a Child seat test no seal of approval issued. At the same time, it is important to know that in an Isofix system, children up to the age of 15 months can only be taken in opposition to the ride. In a stress test, this mainly takes into account the side impact, which should not be higher than 58 g.

Baby car seats:
