HONG
KONG /PRNewswire/ -- Goodbaby International
Holdings Limited ("Goodbaby International" or the "Company", SEHK
stock code: 1086, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is
an international, vertically-integrated durable juvenile products
company headquartered in China,
is pleased to announce excellent test results for its CYBEX car
seat range. In the latest car seat tests conducted by leading
independent German consumer watchdog Stiftung Warentest (test
06/2015) no fewer than four CYBEX products achieved excellent
results in their respective ECE groups:
One of
the most trusted independent German consumer testing
organization Stiftung Warentest, together with German
automobile club ADAC and other European consumer
organizations, for example the OAMTC in Austria,RACE in Spain and Which? in
the UK, tests selected car seats for children of ECE age groups 0
to 3. Six CYBEX seats were chosen for the tests, including
the Cloud Q infant carrier (for
use with a seat belt and also in combination with a base station),
the 2-in-1 child seats Pallas
M-fix and Pallas
M as well as the Solution
M-fixand the Solution
M. These latest tests have set a new record: for the
first time in the company's history, ALL six selected CYBEX seats
were awarded a quality rating of 'good' despite the more stringent
test criteria in this year's head-on and side-impact crash
simulation. Four CYBEX products emerged as test winners in their
respective age groups (Solution
M and Solution
M-fix were on par with another brand's
model).
"The
tests by Stiftung Warentest and the ADAC are some of the most
recognized safety tests in the world. This makes their results one
of the most important factors for parents deciding which car seat
to buy," said Martin Pos, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of
Goodbaby International and CEO of CYBEX.
"I am
particularly delighted with the outstanding test performance of our
Cloud Q in the considerably tougher side-impact category. These
sensational results once again confirm our dedication that the
successful collaboration between our developers, designers and
consumers gives rise to car seats that meet the highest possible
safety standards. The aim to develop car seats that bring together
the best of safety and quality, unique design and intelligent
functionality, will remain the future focus of CYBEX," Martin Pos
concluded.
Detailed Results of CYBEX Products
The belted
version of infant car seat CYBEX Cloud Q clinched a victory: with a
grade of 1.9 it came out test winner in Group 0+. In combination
with the Base Q-fix it achieved a grade of 2.0. What's more, in the
'safety' category the Cloud Q was the only seat in this year's test
to be awarded a rating of 'very good'. Stiftung Warentest commented
positively on the seat's side protection. The Cloud Q is designed
with Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P. System), which has a
patent pending. It is located on both sides of the Cloud Q's outer
shell and protects the infant in a side-impact collision. Stiftung
Warentest concluded that the CYBEX Cloud Q (belted and with base)
ensured that the risk of injury in a side-impact collision remained
very low. In Group 1/2/3, the 2-in-1 seat Pallas M-fix emerged as
the group winner (rating 2.1). The Pallas M without ISOFIX
connectors was awarded an overall quality rating of 'good' (rating
2.5). In Group 2/3, the Solution M and the Solution M-fix were
rated 'good' (rating 1.8), leading the field on par with a seat of
another manufacturer.
Only 14 of 23 seats rated 'good' -- 4
seats fail the tests
Every year, Stiftung Warentest
together with German automobile club ADAC and consumer
organizations all overEurope,
tests the safety, operation, ergonomics and harmful substances of
selected car seats. In this year's test, 14 of the 23 seats were
rated 'good'. Four models were rated 'satisfactory' and another
model achieved 'bare minimum'. Four models even failed the tests:
One car seat failed the head-on collision test and three were found
to have excessive levels of harmful substances.
The
safety tests were carried out at the ADAC's facilities to simulate
a collision scenario as realistically as possible. The testing and
evaluation procedure was tougher this year and the test criteria
were brought in line with the latest state of technology: The
head-on collision tests were conducted in the chassis of a Golf VII
(previously Golf VI), whilst the side-impact test included an
intruding door bench to simulate impact on the basis of ECE-R 129
regulation. The collision scenarios reflected a life-like
situation: Improved Q-dummies were used in order to reflect the
relevant age and weight categories as accurately as possible. The
Q-dummy series is equipped with highly sensitive sensors, producing
more precise results for the stress levels in all areas of the
body.
