Child Restraint Systems for Installation Checks
Top pick list
From 2013 onwards, Euro NCAP uses a selection of popular Child Restraint Systems(CRS) to assess the vehicle’s ability to safely and correctly accommodate child seats.
This so called top pick list contains a sample of widely available, well performing childseats that represent most common types of products available on the European market.
The list will be checked annually and updated if seats are no longer available on themarket. Each update will occur at the start of the year preceding the year of application.
Euro NCAP does not assess or rate the child seats individually and although the child
restraint systems on the top pick list are generally recommended, there are other seatsavailable on the market that provide equal protection.
