Thule Car Seats will launch in the UK on 14 November 2024 and are proud to announce the Thule Maple (Stage 1 Car Seat) and Thule Alfi (Isofix base) have been awarded the test winner in the prestigious ADAC test.
Securing the best child car seat in the test with an ADAC rating of 1.6 is the Thule Maple infant car seat + Alfi Base for children up to around one year old (Click HERE to view results). Just behind with a score of 1.7 is the Doona i infant car seat + Doona i Isofix Base, which is approved for a body height of 40 to 85 centimetres and is therefore suitable for children up to around one and a half years.
Nine infant car seats were tested this time, seven of which scored ‘good’. The top group with Thule Maple + Alfi Base (grade 1.6), Doona i + Doona i Isofix Base (grade 1.7), Besafe Go Beyond + Beyond Base (grade 1.8) and Britax Römer Baby-Safe Core (grade 1.8) even scored an A before the decimal point and did not show any weaknesses in any of the test criteria, meaning that they were at the forefront in terms of safety, handling, ergonomics and the assessment of harmful substances.
The test winner Thule Maple + Alfi Base has an Isofix base on which the seat can be mounted easily and stably. To improve comfort for the baby, the backrest can be adjusted to a flatter position outside the car. The seat is part of a modular system in which different child seats can be attached to the same Isofix base and is even approved for use in certain aircraft. It is advisable to clarify whether the child seat can be used when booking the flight.
