As you may already know, Britax Isofix car seats will be safe and secure if properly fixed and this is quite easy to do with the Isofix system. However, although these seats are carefully tested by Britax themselves, they are put through equally challenging tests by other independent organisations to verify the claims made by the company.

When looking at the Britax Duo Plus in particular, it received a ‘good’ rating in the ADAC Motorwelt magazine in 2007, the European NCAP test recommended/good award in 2007 and Stiftung Warentest also rated the seat ‘good’ in 2007. Probably the most prestigious award in the UK has to come from the Which magazine who awarded the Britax Duo Plus a 'Best Buy’ in June 2009.

For your information, ADAC is Europe’s largest motoring club and has been in existence for over 100 years. ADAC’s publication, the Motorwelt magazine has the largest circulation in Germany and some of the tests it carries out include products associated with motoring such as child car seats.

Euro NCAP publishes safety reviews for new cars, including crash test performance for the vehicles such as front, side and pole impacts, and impacts with pedestrians. Of interest in Euro NCAP reports is that Britax was the favourite car seat in over ¾ of vehicle tests carried out by them.

Stiftung Warentest is a German consumer safety group with over 40 years experience in examining products. Findings are published in two magazines and often on tv. Similar to the majority of these groups, the conclusions it publishes influence consumer behaviour and any ratings a product receives are proudly exhibited along with any advertising.

The Which magazine speaks for itself in the UK and it’s initial publication was in October 1957. Previously the Consumers Association, Which Ltd today runs this product-testing and campaigning charity. It has a powerful reputation for consumer protection in addition to being involved with advocacy campaigns on behalf of its members.

In short, these particular Britax Isofix car seats provide two modes of installation, Isofix or a 3-point technique. The unique Pivot Link system helps stop forward movement and the 5-point safety harness is easy and fast to fit. The Britax Duo has side impact protection, indicators to confirm your seat is properly latched onto the Isofix hooks and a ratchet system for a secure installation. The performance chest pads help protect the child and the seat has three reclining positions for comfort. If you want to secure the seat further, you can elect to add the top tether and a 3-point seat belt. The seat is height adjustable for when baby grows and the covers are well cushioned and washable.

All-in-all, the Britax Duo Plus Isofix car seat is one you should consider for your child. It has received several safety awards from independent bodies and continues to be a popular consumer choice.
