Nuna Rebl fails ADAC test

Hi there

Diono have been in touch and asked us to post the following:

"We have seen that you have highlighted negative test results from the recent ADAC test for Radian 5. We'd like to provide some background information for this because when Radian 5 is used correctly it provides a high level of safety.

The predominant reason for the poor results is due to the complicated nature of the seat which is common amongst multi group child restraints. There are many parts to install because Radian 5 covers a large age range from birth to 7 years and has to keep very small babies safe as well as children 5 or 6 times the weight and size. Combination seats across various brands often get lower scores because of involved fitting and installation. This can increase the risk of a poor installation and therefore ADAC place a high importance on this. However for the consumer, buying 1 seat instead of 3 can be a massive benefit and Radian 5 is safe to use when installed correctly.

In a video of the ADAC test, Radian 5 can be seen with the 15-25kg harness pads installed the wrong way around which will negatively impact the results. This has further highlighted the importance of correct installation and as a result, we are reviewing all our instructions and support materials to minimise potential errors in fitting. Retailers of Radian 5 are also receiving additional training on installing the seat and we would always recommend with any car seat to get expert advice on fitting and car compatibility.

More information on the report can be read here uk.diono.com/radian-5-adac/ and for additional support the Diono customer service team can be contacted on 01827 310557 or at [email protected] "
