BeSafe car seats are tested to above the European R44 standard, have had
additional side impact testing, and increased forward and rearward impact testing using the latest state - of - the - art independent test facilities.
The i did lose some marks
during side impact testing — although side curtain airbags helped the car attain marginal torso protection ratings, the driver's door did open slightly during a 29 - mph - impact.
Side ratings obtained
from side impact tests can be compared with respect to vehicle weight classifications and vehicle types since the kinetic energy used in the side impact assessment is always based on the speed and weight of the moving barrier.
This seat is
side impact tested however the manufacturer doesn't say if it has been through additional safety tests so it may not be the
Evenflo's
Side Impact Test Standard for Structural Integrity tested this seat at twice the energy level of federal safety standards.
Graco is also known for prioritizing safety of its users hence the rigorous
side impact test among other tests that it pushes through before putting its product in the market.
The cee'd achieved the target scores in the frontal and

So, we brought NHTSA's rating system into the 21st century by mandating more rigorous crash tests — including an
additional side impact test; using data from female test dummies — for the first time ever — so we can learn the effects of crashes on women, not just men; and rewarding vehicles with advanced safety technologies, like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and forward collision warning systems.
Crash test dummies representing 1.5 - year - old and 3 - year - old children were properly contained in their restraints by the Matiz Creative's protective shell
