Impact shield or 5-point belt – Pros and Cons

The opinions of which of the two systems is safest are quite divergent. Whether you choose a child car seat with an impact shield or a 5-point harness depends on the preferences of you and your child. Most of all, it is important that your child feels comfortable in the seat.

Child car seats with impact shield

• Pros: 1. simple application 2. Child cannot unfasten themselves 3. Forces are distributed over the entire upper body 4. less serious injuries
• Cons: 1. many children feel restricted 2. uncomfortable when child wants to sleep 3. Child may slip out in the event of a rollover

Child car seats with 5-point harness

• Pros: 1. more freedom of movement 2. comfortable when child wants to sleep 3. lower risk of slipping out
• Cons: 1. Huge strain on the neck area 2. Straps can cut in 3. older children can unfasten themselves 4. more frequent operating error

Safety is always a top priority – even when fastening your child

Apart from the child car seat itself, your little passenger must also be optimally seated and firmly secured. If the belt is not adjusted correctly, the protective effect can be severely impaired. Many parents who have decided on a model that secures their child by using a 5-point harness, however, often do not know how tight the belt must actually be. To guarantee the highest possible safety, it is therefore important to pay attention to a few things:

• Optimal sitting position: The child should sit upright and straight. This prevents the straps from being unequally long later on.
• Keep an eye on the position of the belt: The shoulder strap should run centrally over the child's shoulders, with the lap belt positioned as low as possible over the groin. Also, you should make sure that the straps are not twisted.
• Adjust the belt: The belt should be adjusted as tight as possible and the belt buckle should not sit too high. If the strap is then lashed, only a flat hand may fit between the strap and your child.

Naturally, the season also plays an important role in the correct adjustment of the belt, because especially in winter, children are often dressed in thick clothes or wear several layers of clothes when travelling in the car. However, the thick clothing also prevents the belt from being tight enough on the body. Therefore, please make sure that your child's clothing does not stand in the way of adjusting the belt properly.

In addition to this, you must not forget to check the belt before each and every ride in your vehicle. Only then can you guarantee maximum safety for your child.

Price & quality

Since child car seats from 9 to 36 kg have a long service life, you should look carefully when choosing the right product. In general, it can be stated that the price alone cannot make any statements about the quality of child safety seats. On the market, there are budget-prized car seats from well-known manufacturers, such as Britax Römer or Maxi-Cosi, which have been awarded "good" in child car seat tests and are in no way inferior to more expensive models in terms of quality and safety. That shows that you do not have to splash out to get an outstanding product in every respect. However, it is important that your new child car seat has all the relevant safety features and is approved in accordance with European test standards (ECE R44 / 04 or ECE R129 i-Size).

When choosing a new child car seat, it is, therefore, advisable to obtain detailed information on child car seat tests or test winners at test institutes such as the ADAC or Stiftung Warentest.

In addition to this, we recommend you to not buy second-hand child safety seats, as they often suffer from material fatigue and thus features a higher safety risk for your child.
