Recent testing carried out by the Swedish Consumer Magazine "Råd & Rön" (like a Swedish version of Which magazine) found the Hauck iPro Baby to be dangerous. It scored 1/100
They repeated the test 3 times on different but identical models of each seat to test how they functioned in crash conditions. With the Hauck iPro Baby the seat attaches to a base which is securely fastened to the chassis but it failed the test each time:
- the straps broke and the test doll was thrown totally out of the seat and out of the test car
- the base broke
- the test doll's head moved dangerously which would have caused injury
The seat also contains a very high proportion of chemicals that cause cancer in animals
The seat came in bottom place scoring only 1 out of 100
