Bad points

Bad Points

  • Serious safety failures: 1. The waist straps are not permanently fixed, they can be easily removed from the seat. 2. When the straps are adjusted to their shortest or longest setting and the main buckle is released, the shoulder and waist straps remain connected creating a strangulation hazard. 3. When the fabric at the head end of the seat is detached, there are gaps between the canopy support arch and seat and the seat and handle bar when in its lowest and second lowest positions, that pose head entrapment risks. The manufacturer disagrees with our findings stating they have relevant test certificates showing compliance to the standard.
  • Very minor failure of information requirements.
  • Huge amount of packaging materials.
  • Certain configurations of the front and rear seats could limit the seats number of recline positions.
