Choosing the correct car seat is one of the most important decisions a parent will make.

Child car seats are essential safety elements for the well-being of young children, who, in the event of a crash, are extremely vulnerable. In South Africa, it is illegal to travel in a car with an unrestrained child under 3 years old. In order to protect our youngest road users and promote safety, we’re empowering you with access to the latest ADAC and PESRI car seat safety ratings.

These ratings reflect results from stringent tests which are conducted under real-life conditions in all available weight categories. In addition, new technologies such as the Isofix system are tested to assure parents that they are purchasing a good quality child car seat which adheres to important minimum safety standards.
