Child car safety seat

This year marks the 50th anniversary of our first child car seat tests. We’ve looked through our archives to see how much they’ve evolved – and what we’ve achieved in promoting passenger safety – since then. (more on 50 years of child car seats testing…)

Do all grandparents use a child car seat for their grandchildren?

21

Our latest research finds that one in five grandparents are not using a child car seat when regularly driving their grandchildren aged 10 and under. The problem is, this could break the law.

Would your child’s car seat pass a crash test?

Child car seat

Are you confident that your child’s car seat is fitted properly? Worryingly, if it was fitted by one of the big high street retailers offering child car seat fittings, it may not be as safe as it seems.

Child car seats shouldn’t compromise safety for convenience

0

When I first saw the Easycarseat Inflatable child car seat, it seemed like an ingenious solution for travellers who needed a seat they could fit in their suitcase. I was genuinely shocked at how poorly it performed in our tests.

Is a Kevlar airbag on a child car seat a step too far?

5

The recent unveiling of the prototype Carkoon child car seat, which is made of Kevlar and uses an airbag to protect your baby in a crash, got me thinking. Is it worth spending time on innovations like this?

Budget 2012 – what will George Osborne do for you?

18

A year on from Chancellor George Osborne’s ‘Budget for Growth’ in 2011, Britain and consumers are still in poor financial health. So what do we want from the government’s 2012 Budget?

Are you too young to die?

Of course, I would expect most of you to reply with a resounding ‘Yes!’. So why are so many children’s lives being put at risk by bad safety and fitting advice about child car seats?

Are retailers fit to fit child car seats?

9
Mum putting child into car seat

Have you had bad (or good) experiences when buying a child car seat? I was genuinely shocked by the advice we were given by child car seat retailers in our undercover investigation – are you?

Should Which? publish safety ratings for kids’ products?

22

Safety is clearly important to parents of young children. We publish safety ratings for child car seats, but should we stretch our safety ratings to other kids’ products, like pushchairs, too?

Why should we pay VAT on child car seats?

7
Baby in child car seat

Child car seats are not only needed for peace of mind in the safety of our children, they’re also required to be used by all children up to the age of 12 (or 1.35m tall) by law. So why do parents have to pay VAT on them?

Child car safety compromised for big families

2
Children in car seats

Parents have a real struggle on their hands when trying to fit their kids safely into the ‘family car’. Carmakers must take note – the options for families of more than 2.4 children are severely limited.

Child car seats are far too expensive

5
Child in car seat

When all kids need to be strapped into car seats until they’re either 135cm tall or 12 years old, costs can go through the roof. Is it too much to ask manufacturers to make these life-saving seats more affordable?
