TRL assess child restraints using scientifically based crash tests that have been developed through knowledge of real world accidents. This rating comes free, on the product, at the point of sale. Ask your retailer about seats that have the TRL rating. Silver Cross, Graco and Alibebe have embraced the scheme and are using it to demonstrate their commitment to child safety.

You don't necessarily get what you pay for.

Following on from our earlier post. The link we gave you was faulty. Hopefully this one works:

most need to touch the seat and have tether straps

Idealy they should all be braced on the front seat or dash regardless if they have a support leg or not. Seats with a supportleg should be used with the supportleg and touch the front seat or dash. Seats without a supportleg MUST be braced and stabilized on the front seat or dash..

It adds more legroom in front, longer rearfacing time for some and safety to the already VERY safe seats.
