3 of the Highest Safety Rated Convertible Car Seats
No car seat gets to the market without demonstrating that it meets minimum Federal safety standards in crash testing. But some seat manufacturers raise the bar, and develop their own standards that surpass these. Side impact safety is one area in which recent innovation in materials and design is yielding great results when it comes to child safety. Some harness and tether systems are also better at slowing a child’s forward motion in a collision without causing an abrupt stop that may cause whiplash.
These three seats feature some of the best safety records in the industry.
Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat
Excellent Side Impact Protection distributes the impact of any crash from the side, a factor in about 25 % of all accidents. And since most vehicles do not possess the same protections for these events as for front impact, this is vital technology. The shell is designed to guard your child from broken glass, and the keep them within the protective barrier of the car seat. Added to this is a snug, easily adjusted 5-point harness, impact absorbing crumple zones, firm lock down straps that prevent seat movement in an accident, and much more.
Graco MyRide Convertible Car Seat
The Graco MyRide is tested and tough. It secures quickly with any vehicle’s restraint system using the patented LATCH coupling, and your child loads with ease. Three attractive fabric schemes complete the package on the durable Graco MyRide. Both boy and girls will ride in style, sporting the Streamer, Alma, or Edgemont Dots fabric schemes. When you are grateful for the opportunity to give your best to another, consider the Graco MyRide. You and your child will be glad you did!
Evenflo Triumph Convertible Car Seat
The Evenflo Triumph meets or exceeds all federal safety standards, because the standards Evenflo designers set for themselves are even more stringent. Your child will be given the best protection in the industry, no matter what type of collision occurs. The structural integrity of the shell holds when tested at twice the impact federal law demands. Once in the seat, the harness is essential to your child’s safety. The Triumph Advance LX features a one-hand easy-lock clip and patented Tension Right adjustment so the proper hold is always achieved. The foam lining absorbs shock and provides comfort, too. The seat reclines when facing forward or back, so your child can rest or sit up straight. The cushy seat liner is easily removed for washing.
