Every year, the "TCS - Touring Club Suisse" tests car seats in all weight categories. In this article, you can find out more about the test and discover which car seats will 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 2017 TCS test, 39 car seats were evaluated and compared. Now let us convince you with our car seats with 3 and 4 TCS stars, which are all "recommended" or "highly recommended".

The car seats were 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.
