Are Multimac car seats safe?
Multimac have recently been awarded the R129 safety accreditation and have undergone extensive testing. The car seats for R129 accreditation are now tested using Q dummies which have 32 sensors to really evaluate seat safety. The difficulty with Multimac crash testing was the Q dummies are extremely expensive and most test house only have one. Multimac required four in order to test, but they overcame this challenge and the Multimac car seat was tested with four Q dummies ensuring it was accredited with R129.
What does R129 approved mean?
There are two safety standards which all car seats must adhere to in the UK. The first is ECE R44 which is based on your child's weight, can be fitted using either ISOFIX or the car's seatbelt and is tested for rear and frontal impact. However, ECE R44 car seats are not tested for side-impact collisions. The newer standard ECE R129 is based on your child's height. It is the safest standard with improved head and neck protection as well as being tested for side-impact crashes.
The Multimac car seat is available from www.multimac.com/range with prices starting from £1599.
