As the most objective criteria for
choosing children car seats are the results from its crash test, we've decided to create a top of children car seats that proved its quality according to the
crash tests by ADAC. Here we have
the best representatives among
child car seats in its age category.

following criteria for measuring child safety in the car seat: safety, usability, comfort, use.
More specifically the test specialists pay attention to the frontal and side impacts on the seat, belt mounting, size adjustment, buckling up and unstrapping of the child, load measurements, head comfort ( for different ages and weight of a child), seat firmness, installation, removal, leg support, quality of upholstery, coverage and visibility of the road and family for a child during a ride in the car seat, ecology-friendliness, the overall quality of a product and comprehensibility of the instruction manual. As you can see the list of criteria is pretty heavy. So, let's see the nominees.
