This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Increase the speeds of child car seat testing to national speed limit.
Currently the laws for child car seat testing stand at 30mph frontal and 18mph rearward for R44/03 & R44/04 and 34mph frontal and 18mph rearward for R129 (i-size). It has been shown many times that a car seat that has passed this testing will FAIL in a higher impact crash.
More details
With the national speed limit at a high of 70mph on motoways it isn’t in the safety of our children for the car seats to only be tested to a maximum of 34mph. This does not highlight the impact that would happen at a high speed crash on the motorway which is how most people travel these days.
