So from what I am reading, it is stating that these numbers come from improper installation of the KIDDY.
Kiddy considers a child sleeping and laying their head on the shield to be out of position and this could be dangerous in a collision...
Here is a response from Kiddy,
Comparison of child restraint systems:
Every child who sits "out of position" may be protected by any child restraint system is well, no matter whether it is a rear-facing, braces or impact shield system. If the child is asleep and lying on the impact shield or harness when it tilts forward, it is "out of position." Now, if the random strikes, and there is a serious accident, no manufacturer can avoid no matter what system this probability and provide 100% protection. No manufacturer can simulate such cases a sleeping position. The only way to avoid over-front sink, would lie in a connection of the head on the seat, which in turn would have serious consequences in a frontal collision. It is also true. And adults injure themselves seriously when they put their feet on the dashboard and therefore "out of position" sit so bad and terrible this case, the paralysis of the child and the parents, is, one must be knowingly, that the child has survived thanks to a kiddy seat of the accident at all. Even if this risk of "out of position" to be smaller, perhaps with a rear-facing system (even where there are "out of position" options), a rear-facing system contains two additional for the child at least as harmful threats: namely, the risk of misuse, because the installation is very complicated, and therefore can occur much more mistakes, which the child can be extremely fatal. In addition, there are no rear-facing system for the child seats from a year ago, which is a very good test results in particular in the side impact protection. But it is now even statistically proven that the worst injuries occur in a side crash, as the crush zone is much smaller. Kiddy has sold his 45-year history, hundreds of thousands of child seats. The described case of you is the only known case of severe injury in a child restraint seat. We take this as a manufacturer of single case very seriously and work very closely with the University of Hanover, to recreate the circumstances and analyzed in order to improve our products even further. As already mentioned you have to be glad that the child has survived at all given the severity of the accident. It took them but no broken neck, but a cervical injury. love kiddy fans. Dear Alexandra, too kiddy has previously built a long time and a lot of rear-facing seats and sold. As we but the catch-body system considered above all for the better system to keep (better side impact protection, significantly lower misuse risks, faster installation in the vehicle), we have stopped production of these seats. Since we find it, however great the way you you for Parental interest in the car and committed, we invite you, especially you Michaela, a very warm welcome to further discussions in our factory, so you can make yourself a picture of the very high technical level of our children's development office. An appointment you can arrange any time with Patrick Findeiß under number 09281 / 708,058th love Michaela, regarding your next question of pollution we share with you further, that all of the market kiddy car seats, the current European emission regulations, which sucked in the . REACH are set. More information, you will receive you with your visit to our factory.
The other posters are talking a lot about rear-facing and Swedish statistics etc....
