Large test of child car seats – two models receive the highest marks

Two out of twelve children’s car seats get top marks in Folksam’s test and no seat makes a splash. What distinguishes the winners is the amount of subtleties. – What is special is that they are spacious, they allow a high weight limit on the child and you have adjustment options that allow more legroom, says traffic safety researcher Anders Ydenius about the winners. In addition, they have additional good features that make them safer and smarter. That’s why you shouldn’t buy online But if the “Best-in-test” seats don’t go home, Anders has two more tips for child car seat buyers. One of the tips is not to shop online, but in store. – Then they can help with fixing the seat correctly in the car. Simply test that it fits in the car. If the seat fits well in the car, it’s time to look for the third tip: the plus test label. The marking means that the chair protects the child from life-threatening neck forces. And if you are in the choice or the qualifier between Isofix or not, they are just as safe, but easier to install correctly. Many turn too soon When the super safe car seat is bought, it is important not to turn it too soon. Something Swedes are bad at. The national recommendation is to turn the chair at the age of 4-5, but many turn the chair at the age of three. – You turn for various reasons, it could be that the child is sitting with bent knees. Our opinion is that it is not the children who complain, but that the parents think it looks uncomfortable.
