What US car seats pass the Euro side impact testing? I know the Graco myride ss. Does the TB with SS pass? What about the Evenflo SK 300 or 400? I remember hearing that they would pass but looking on their website Evenflo doesn't say anything about that.

Recaro.

I don't think Evenflo specifies.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. That's one of their biggest selling points

All Graco seats are now tested to the Euro draft standard for side impact, I believe. That's why we've been seeing more padding on Turbos and stuff, I think?

The SS is for Safety Surround. Their new term for extra SIP features like head cushioning and deeper side wings and stuff.

I want to say the Evenflo E3 seats are tested based on the Euro standard, but I'm not sure.

Cybex does test to the Euro side impact standard as well. So does Kiddy. (Makes sense since their seats have been in Europe longer than here.) I think Peg Perego does, too.

I know Britax has made some kind of standard they test to, but I've never heard that they test to the European standard for side impacts.

So the new myride 70s and the s4me70 pass the draft then? Just curious

I think so.

(I know they're tested against it, I assume that means they pass.)

I checked the Graco website yesterday and only the SS seats said they passed the Euro draft standard.
