Child Seat Rating Scheme
The 5 Star rating scheme for child restraint systems provides consumers with rigorous and independent performance ratings for all child restraint systems tested from the Child Safety Centre experts at TRL. This enables you to make comparisons and informed decisions on which product best meets your own requirements. |

TRL’s independent rating scheme clearly presents individual products’ safety and usability performance to consumers and is supported by retailers and the AA. Our goal is to save lives and reduce serious injuries. The star rating is based on a suite of tests to assess the front and side impact performance and the usability of the product. Performance information for each of these is available for added clarity.
