Before rear or front? Safety car seat crash test videos TRUE STORY
There are two different types of tests to consider The first type is the crash tests conducted by NCAP or TIV or other crash site test deemed These crash tests are performed by independent organizations that do not sell or manufacture seats for the car crash tests look different aspects of the office, such as how the guardrails on the car seat, if it remains in place in the car accident, how the dummy on the seat survives the test, if the model strikes a part of the accident vehicle, etc. The tests look only security issues.
Different criteria are set for different crash tests They can be made at different speeds, or they may have different criteria for how to install the seat if the researcher must look in the manual or try installing just looking stickers on the seat body etc. When looking at the results, it is important that you check what the test criteria were, so you can accurately understand the result.
The second type of test is the consumption test This is the test that you find in your parenting magazine, eg consumer magazines approved to take seats in the EEC, generally assuming that all ECE approved seats are as safe the other, then they test the seats to see how consumer friendly they are they would watch what type of material used is it removable, can it be washed, the ease with which the seat is installed, how much is easy to change the position of the harness, how easy it is to raise the child in and out etc. These tests do not say anything about how security is the seat, so that a seat mark and a test consumption are not a guarantee that it is a safe seat for your child.
Some tests combine the information in a crash test with the information contained in a consumer test and quality scores to obtain an overall score A seat that scores well in this type of test could be the best seat to buy, but the result could also induce a general error, the seats do not score well if they are heavy or if there are many steps in the installation process, but heavy seats are generally safer in an accident and many steps Installation is not a problem unless you actually skip some of the steps and end up with a seat that is not installed according to instructions, which would be very dangerous for your child NOTE that 7 of the 10 seats in the United -um are statistically not installed correctly Make sure it is not the seat of your child who is not properly installed.
The important information to look in a test is how to accelerate safely headquarters what kind of force would be the head and neck to be subjected to an accident she is well protected side impact head plant What that the breast the seat slide is the harness open loop is in the accident that the seat off the vehicle's crash test dummy ejected from the vehicle.
It is also interesting to note that some tests will test all the seats in a position facing the front, although the seats are designed to be rear-facing In these tests, the rear seats do not score that well they are improperly installed, are heavier than their counterparts face forward and do not protect the way they are supposed Thus, seats facing backwards don t tend to get great results in these tests and some people see this as proof that the seats are safer than forward seats, but extensive research by the Swedish insurance company Folksam over 40 years of research, research Institute on road and Swedish VTI Swedish national, Volvo and SIS Swedish Standards Institute among others confirm without doubt that the rear facing seats are five times safer that e to the front seats, mainly due to the reduction of forces that the head and neck, and many internal organs, are subjected.
