Britax Child Safety, Inc. Responds to Consumer Reports Article
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Britax Child Safety
Inc, is a leader and manufacturer in child safety products, which are
routinely top rated by Consumer Reports. Britax supports the efforts of
Consumer Reports in providing product information and ratings to consumers.
We recognize the importance of consumer awareness and would like to address
the recent article featured in Consumer Reports about the safety and test
performance of infant car seats, specifically the Britax Companion(R).
As indicated in the Consumer Reports article the Britax Companion was
Consumer Reports top-rated seat based on earlier tests that mirrored the
federal standard. As stated by Consumer Reports, the Britax Companion(R)
passes the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Britax would welcome
the opportunity to review the additional testing and test results designed
by Consumers Union. Without those details, Britax cannot comment on the
technical attributes of the article published by Consumer Reports.
All child seats manufactured and sold by Britax today comply with
standards set forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) and undergo extensive testing through in-house and outside test
laboratories. Additionally, the government independently tests child
restraints each year to ensure continued compliance by all child seat
manufacturers. At Britax we are advocates for child passenger safety and
strive to educate the consumer on the proper installation and use of their
child seat. To ensure optimal safety all child seats should be installed as
recommended by both the child seat and vehicle manufacturer.
As the premium manufacturer of child safety products, Britax remains
committed to developing innovative products that exceed consumer
expectations. We are in support of regulations and standards to enhance
child passenger safety and we will continue to share our experiences with
the industry regarding performance improvement features and designs.
