My dh wrote an email to MN a while ago about this but got no response so I'm trying here instead...
We love the reviews on MN and have found them really helpful in deciding what to buy of various products - but were surprised that on the car seats there is no indication of how safe they are, which is something that can and has been tested. Obviously they all have to conform to basic safety standards but it turns out those aren't very high at all. I understand that the reviews are from mums and not safety testers, but don't you think that for something like a car seat, where surely the whole point of it is to keep a baby safe in a crash - there should be some indication of how it has performed in crash tests like those done by Which? Some of the top-reviewed seats on MN have actually been given a very poor safety rating by Which?, and if people are making their buying decisions on the basis of MN, they may not realise that a seat that has been well reviewed by mums - for things like ease of installation and comfort - will actually collapse in a side-impact crash.
What do you think? Can you have some arrangement with Which? to show their crash test results, or something similar?
