The "TCS - Touring Club Suisse" tested 22 car seats in all weight categories. Find out more about the test and the results, and convince yourself of the car seats that carry your child safely.

With the vast selection of different car seats, it's hard to know which one to buy. As well as safety, ease of use, an ergonomic shape for the child's back and harmful substances are also decisive. Cleaning and finish also play an important role. In the TCS test, 22 car seats were evaluated and compared, to help you make the right choice. Discover our car seats with 4 TCS stars, all of which were judged "highly recommendable"!

The car seats have been tested according to the following criteria:

  • Safety (weighting 50%)
  • Usability/ergonomics (weighting 50%)
  • Toxic substance control (weighting 0%)

Depreciations:

  • If the score on safety or usability/ergonomics is less than 60%, this leads to a progressive depreciation of the final score.
  • If the score on the control of toxic substances is less than 40%, this leads to a progressive depreciation of the final score.
  • A score on safety, usability/ergonomics or control of toxic substances below 20% has a direct impact on the final score.
