Rating car seat: the results of crash tests. Methods of holding crash tests EURO NCAP All necessary crash tests under
Such tests annually conduct special organizations to help parents pick up the best car seats among the market and stimulating manufacturers to improve their products. Rating 2018 and 2019 is presented below.
Crash tests, or safety tests
For parents to choose the best holding device, first manufacturers, and then independent experts carry out a complex of serious tests that are called crash tests. They are carried out in specially equipped laboratories.
For the ranking of children's car seat and the level of comfort, you can use the information from the following organizations:
- ADAC- Car club from the German city of Lanberg, every year evaluates child retaining devices in several parameters;
- Anwb. - Association of motorists from the Netherlands, its tests and the principle of assessing car chairs resemble the tests of the previous organization;
- TCS. - Club of motorists from Switzerland, produces evaluation in two characteristics: reliability and ease of use;
- Warenst. - Magazine from Germany, regularly conducting car chairs together with ADAC, evaluates reliability and comfort during operation;
- Racc.- the club of motorists from Spain, evaluates the quality of holding devices according to the same parameters as ADAC;
- Autoliitto. - Car club from Finland, evaluates practically the same principles and characteristics as the German ADAC;
- Omitc. - Organization of motorists from Austria, conducts testing for similar to ADAC characteristics.
Domestic motorists can also pay attention to the test results presented in the popular Russian publication "Autores". On tests, experts pay attention to the protection of body parts and comfort during operation.
Adac testing system
Perhaps the most authoritative organization of the list presented above is German ADAC. This abbreviation is decoded as follows - Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (General German motorists' club).
The tests of the ADAC organization are considered more harsh, rather than those that hold the manufacturers themselves to obtain a mandatory security certificate.
Twice a year (usually in May and October), the organization's experts acquire popular models in the German market and evaluate them according to several parameters, among them:
- reliability;
- comfort;
- convenience of operation;
- ecology.
To determine which child car seat is most safe, mannequins are used, "playing" the role of children of different ages. For testing one model, 6 - 8 copies are usually acquired.
Such an impressive amount of products is required in order to check everything. possible options Emergencies with the participation of a small passenger.
Each "Taranit" holding device with two "experimental" different ages. Also check different positions (sleep and recreation) and types of fastening to the car body. In addition, all car chairs are checked for resistance to frontal and lateral damage.
Mannequins are equipped with numerous sensors that fix loads with a simulated road accident. So, the front blow implies an accident at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour, with lateral damage, the speed is 50 km / h.
Every year the test system is becoming increasingly perfect, so it is difficult to compare the level of safety model, tested in 2017, and the best car seats, for example, 2012.
Many European automotive organizations, magazines and independent laboratories cooperate with ADAC, publishing the results of tests on Internet resources and in printed publications. However, their results may differ from the original, since the calculation techniques are different.

Germany
ADAC - the largest autoclub in the world who is engaged in the problems of automotive industry, provides emergency assistance, checks the quality of cars declared by the manufacturer and annually tests children's car seats using ultra-modern mannequins with sensors.
Adac specialists are selected in Germany's popular children's car seats in Germany, anonymously acquires and test them. Chairs are evaluated by criteria: safety, comfort, ease of use and content of harmful substances. Independent ADAC studies are more stringent than tests of mandatory certification of children's car seats according to a single security standard ECE R 44/04. Adac crash tests frontal collisions are held at a speed of 64 km / h, and the side shocks at a speed of 50 km / h.
Each car seat is tested with two mannequins of different age groups using different positions of the chair position and various installation types if they are provided. Mannequins are equipped with a variety of sensors that fix the load at the moment of impact. Adac experts analyze the testimony of these sensors and correlate them with high-speed video filming from several angles. The data of their research on the Autoclub publishes in the Adacmotorwelt monthly journal.
RACC - Royal Car Club Catalonia, the largest motorist community in Spain. The number of its members has already exceeded one million people. The autoclub provides almost any help to motorists and regularly conducts crash tests of the car seat.
On testing of car seat, they are estimated at the following criteria: ease of installation and adjustment of belts, stability, reliability of belts, head restraints, etc. The estimate scale has five divisions, ranging from "unsatisfactory" and ending "very good". Estimates are exhibited in four categories: protection, use, comfort, care. After completing all tests, the final score is displayed.
Switzerland
Swiss automotive club TCS tests children's holding devices for over 40 years. The used technique of crash tests is similar to the one that ADAC and ANWB specialists are used. The final estimate is set on the scale of five points for two main categories: security and use. To withdraw a safety assessment, the chair is exposed to front and side impact. The "use" category has several components: features of installation, child comfort, care characteristics, environmental friendliness.
TCS test results can be trusted - the automotive club has more than a century of history. It was founded in Geneva back in 1896 a small group of cyclists. Today, the number of members of TCS exceeds 1.6 million people.
Holland
ANWB - Royal Dutch Club, founded in 1883 as a society protecting the interests of cyclists. To date, AnWB members are more than 4 million people. Together with other organizations, ANWB tests various vehicles, spare parts and auto accessories. And since 2007, the autoclub holds crash tests of children's car seats.
For testing, modern mannequins with built-in sensors are used for testing during front and side impact. Each mannequin used corresponds to the age group of the tested car seat. The tests are recorded on the tests that the internal organs of the child receive in the event of an accident. The final assessment is set to four categories: security, comfort and ergonomics, care, ecology.
One of the most recognizable Russian crash tests is held by the Russian magazine "Autores". Among the tests there are tests for the safety of children's car seats: Specialists "Autores" have created their system for assessing the safety of children's retaining devices based on the ECE R 44/04 standard. "Autores" evaluates children's car seats in terms of head protection, legs, spine and analyzes the convenience of using the chair.
When carrying out crash tests, children's q-series mannequins are used, allowing not only to determine the damage resulting from the collision, but also measure the acceleration of the pelvis and the load on the neck of a small passenger. There are 28 sensors on the mannequin. The final rating is formed from six indicators, as a result of the analysis of which an evaluation on a ten-point scale is exhibited.
The Austrian car club OAMTC conducts independent crash tests of children's retaining devices since 2001. This car club is a partner of the well-known European ADAC (Germany) and TCS (Switzerland).
Under the auspices of OAMTC tested car seats for all age categories in different price range. The test provides for a frontal collision and side blow. Tests are held once a year and cover about forty most popular models from European manufacturers. The estimate is made on a five-point scale in 4 categories: security, installation, comfort, use.

Below we will look at the cheap car seats from 2500r. Different weight categories that showed good results in independent crash tests.
Why is it so important to participate in independent crash tests? The fact is that the marking of compliance with the Security Standard ECE R44 / 04 on many "holding devices" means nothing.
Certificates are also not a guarantee of security. There is no certification centers technical base For testing children's car seats. But the crash tests confirmed by video give us information about how the car seat will behave at the time of the accident. We will look at the inexpensive car seats with good, middle and low level security. The latter is certainly better to avoid. Low price And the Russian producer is not an excuse.

Prices in stores
Of the advantages of this car seat - understandable and easy installation. However, not in all cars it fits tightly to the seat of the car. Loads during front and lateral blows do not exceed "red" values.
But car seats and other "retaining devices", which should be avoided, despite the cheapness.
Low security - car seats that should be avoided
Many retention devices have never been tested by foreign car enthusiast clubs (for example ADAC). But the magazine the engine does an excellent job, testing different devices, from inexpensive to elite. Thanks to the author, we know which devices do not stand the harsh test in the Lada Kalina body. In search of car seats cheap, it is better to avoid the following models:
Booster for small children - not safe
Little children are unsafe to carry in the booster. With lateral blow, there is a strongest kick about the door. And with the front, the wrong belt position causes strongest overload in the chest and neck area. This confirms the video crash test:
The booster does not have a back. But unfortunately, some full-fledged car seats with the back also do not withstand the tests.
Car seat Kenga - not safe
This car seat, like many others, is made in China. In appearance, there is little different from their fellow. However, it showed the results worse than other Chinese car seats. The lengths of the internal belts of this car session lacks to secure the child. A fixed car belt, the baby is protected very badly. Overloaded heads exceeded all valid norms.
Seat belt adapter - not safe
This is the cheapest "retaining device" for a long time was also the most popular. After all, this is a cheapest way to "otmazy from the traffic police." However, this tool will not help at the time of the accident.
Adapter "Fast" russian production It was equipped with special straps to eliminate the effect of diving. It really excluded this effect, but the device was not safer. Loads on the head, neck and chest are prohibitive.
Frameless car seat BERRY - not safe
This Russian product also appeared in response to the request of the market for an inexpensive car seat, or "holding device".
As can be seen from the photo, in the crash test for safety, it "failed" the test both on the front and side blow. At the same time, the installation of it is complex and does not exclude the risk of error (3 points for excluding the risk of incorrect installation).
The frameless car seat at the blow was torn in the flap, with the monstrous effect of diving - the belt came to the baby on the chest. According to, the autores, such a "modified diaper" should be prohibited by Russian legislation. It is interesting to notice that all dangerous car seats contain the marking of compliance with the European Security Standard and have certificates.

Performed in six laboratories throughout Europe. These include: one laboratory in France (UTAC in Monteree), two in Germany (ADAC in Munich and Bast in Bergisch Gladbach), and one in the Netherlands (TNO in Delphte), Spain (IDIADA in Tarragona) and in the UK ( TRL in Berkshire).
What tests are performed by Euro NCAP? It:
1. A full-scale frontal collision test, in which the test vehicle at a rate of 64 km / h is crashed into amenable deformation obstacle, with only 40% of the vehicle width contact with an obstacle.
2. The full-scale test of perpendicular lateral collision, which is performed at a speed of 50 km / h, when the test vehicle remains fixed, and the cart is cut into it representing another vehicle.
3. A full-scale lateral collision test using a pillar, in which the tested vehicle at a speed of 29 km / h is crashed into a solid metal pillar.
4.Tests of the vehicle impact on the head and legs of a pedestrian moving at a speed of 40 km / h. In this case, instead of a whole mannequin, its individual parts are used, which provides the best results.
From the results of these tests, three estimates are obtained (protection of adults in the car, protecting children in the car and pedestrian protection).
Why are these tests?
Test procedures are based on legislative acts of the European Expanded Committee on Vehicle Safety (EEVC), except that the speed at the front collision is increased by 8 km / h.
The crash test using a pillar is based on the standards developed in the United States.
Cars designed to obtain maximum estimates in EURO NCAP tests should have improved protection in relation to a wide variety of traffic accidents.
Why not perform a wider range of tests?
This is the responsibility of manufacturers to design and check cars on the level of protection in a wide variety of accidents. EURO NCAP tests cover the sufficient range of accidents. Well-designed the car will pass EURO NCAP tests, and that car that will make it bad, with a small probability will provide the necessary protection in a real accident.
Why does Euro NCAP do not perform rear collision tests?
Early with a frontal and lateral collision - prevail in real accidents with serious damage. Rear collisions happen often, but rarely it leads to serious consequences. the main problem At the rear collision, the proper work of head restraints to protect the neck, and the proper operation of the seat belt to protect the back of the passenger is. Euro NCAP explore the tests to assess the level of the proposed protection of belts and head restraints.
Why was this speed when the frontal collision test was chosen?
Performing frontal collision tests at 64km / h, simulates the impact of the test vehicle on a car of this size, when both of them move at the same speed - 55 km / h. It is at this speed that studies have shown, most accidents.
And should not increase this speed, given that speed limits above?
Studies of automotive accidents show that the execution of a frontal collision test at 64 km / h, covers most of the serious and fatal accidents that occur. Even if the limit maximum speed - 120 km / h, some accidents occur at such speeds, and if it happens, it is impossible to protect for those who are in the car is impossible.
How is the risk of injury to people in the car determined from crash tests?
The risk of injury is estimated using a multitude of sources, including data from mannequin sensors, viewing the film with a special way and research by experts to study accidents.
