TCS and ADAC give their blessing to these child seats

Translation: machine translated
The current child seat test by TCS and ADAC is full of recommendable to highly recommendable models. At the same time, the experts point out that a good child seat is only half the battle when it comes to safety. Ultimately, you are the deciding factor.
The fly in the ointment
In order not to lose track of this range, TCS and ADAC regularly test new child car seats for their safety, handling, ergonomics and harmful substances.
The latter is the reason why child car seats fall through the cracks.
Only one out of 17 child car seats failed the current test because of the latter: The cover fabric of the model from Graco contains too much formaldehyde. The organic chemical compound is suspected of causing cancer in humans.
"Recommended" to "highly recommended"
Another Maxi-Cosi model receives the "recommended" rating, as do three other child car seats, such as the one from Joie.
The human factor
Always make sure that the seat is adjusted to the size and weight of your child. Follow the operating instructions for the seat and the car when installing it. And take your child's winter jacket off before buckling them in. This is because the belt must be as close to the body as possible, as the TCS emphasises.

I'm a full-blooded dad and husband, part-time nerd and chicken farmer, cat tamer and animal lover. I would like to know everything and yet I know nothing. I know even less, but I learn something new every day. What I am good at is dealing with words, spoken and written. And I get to prove that here.
