Kiddy, formerly known as "Sicartex", is one of the top three child safety seat brands in Europe, and claims to have "the world's most accurate simulated collision technology". Founded in 1966 in Munich, Germany, Kiddy was originally a family business specializing in the manufacture of car floor mats and seat covers, and provided supporting seats and safety facilities for Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Renault, Citroen and other automobile brands all year round, and was the supplier of more than 90% of European automobile factories.
 
Children in 0-4 years old spine is very fragile, when the car suddenly stops, due to the effect of inertia is easy to cause children's spinal strain, Kiddy for children's physiological development characteristics, invented the first impact shield safety seat, its first impact shield technology to protect the child's spine well, reduce the possibility of strain. For this reason, Kiddy is one of the few brands recommended by the German Association for Back Health. Under the most stringent ADAC test in the world, the safety factor of the impact shield is also generally higher than that of the "five-point seat belt". Kiddy and Cybex are also the two major manufacturers of pre-protective bodies on the market.
 
Kiddy's initial impact shield model was mediocre in terms of comfort, but the technology has matured over time. In 2012, Kiddy cooperated with Bayer in Germany to develop a special shock-absorbing material for the pre-sheath, which can better protect the children's cervical spine.
 
The skeleton is the main structure of the child safety seat, which is generally composed of alloy or plastic, the alloy skeleton is more supportive than the plastic structure, but it will affect the portability of the product. Most of the rest are made of HDPE or PP plastic. These two plastics are also commonly used by top foreign manufacturers for seat frames. It is worth mentioning that in addition to raw materials, the safety performance of child safety seats also has a great relationship with whether the design is reasonable.
 
Between the skeleton body of the seat and the textile jacket, there is a layer of shock-absorbing energy-absorbing material, and in the selection of cushioning materials, manufacturers mainly have three solutions: EPE, EPS and EPP. There are certain differences in the performance of the three, among which EPP has the best buffering performance, can absorb the most energy in the event of a collision accident, and the price is also the highest, while the price of EPE and EPS is relatively low, and the buffer energy absorption is not as good as EPP.
 
Kiddy mainly chooses EPP and EPS two cushioning materials, of which EPP is a honeycomb tissue material, which has excellent protection for the head and shoulders. Honeycomb material is the world's top shock absorbing material, is widely used in Boeing 747 aircraft first class cushioning material, it is worth mentioning that Kiddy is the world's largest supplier of honeycomb shock absorbing materials, 80% of the safety seat shock absorbing materials are provided by it, and the quality is more guaranteed.
 
In addition to the two characteristics of impact shield and honeycomb material, Kiddy child safety seat also has the advantage of 15 seconds of user-friendly and quick installation, and can be firmly controlled by ordinary seat belts, it is because of the unique design that Kiddy child seat is very compatible and can even be used on airplanes, Kiddy is also the only child safety seat brand in the world that has obtained certification to be used on any aircraft.
 
Of the more than 400 child car seats evaluated by STIFTUNG WARENTEST, only eight have been rated "SEHR GUT (best)" and Kiddy has taken two of them: the Evo-Luna i-Size with a score of 1.5 and the Phoenixfix Pro 2 Isofix with a score of 1.4, and only one in the ADAC 2014-2017 evaluation" SEHR GUT (Best)" car seat, also Evo-Luna i-Size. With the aura of these two authorities, the Evo-Luna i-Size is definitely Kiddy's most iconic product, but it is not sold in China and costs as much as £389 abroad.
 
Ponder and Jiabao Nest is Kiddy's product for 0-15 months, weighing 0-13kg infants, priced at 1180 and 499 yuan respectively, Ponder uses a five-point seat belt to immobilize children, compared with the use of three-point Jiabao Nest, the safety is higher. In the selection of shock-absorbing materials, the contemplative with EPP honeycomb cushioning material has better performance in cushioning performance than with EPS Jiabaochao, in addition, the contemplative has better ergonomic convenience, and the adjustable shoulder strap also makes it more comfortable for children to ride.
 
The Energypro, Phoenixfix Pro 2 and Beetle are aimed at children aged 9 months to 4 years and weigh between 9 and 18 kg and are priced between 1200 and 1600 yuan. COMPARED TO THE OTHER TWO, THE PHOENIX RIDER 2FIX IS THE MOST RECOMMENDED PRODUCT, AND IT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ISOFIX INTERFACE, WHICH NOT ONLY MAKES IT EASY TO ATTACH THE CHILD SEAT TO THE CAR, BUT ALSO GREATLY REDUCES THE ERROR RATE, AND HAS BEEN RATED "SEHR GUT (BEST)" ON THE STIFTUNG WALENTEST.
 
For children under the age of 12, Kiddy can provide more abundant products, including Companion series, Cruiserfixpro, Guardianfix Pro 2, Guardianpro 2, Comfortpro, World Plus, priced between 1000-2700 yuan. The Companion series has the highest price, about 2500 yuan, and the Companion fix SL and Companion fix under the series use a steel structure skeleton, and the steel skeleton seat has better support, but its weight is twice that of the plastic skeleton seat, which is about 12 kg, and it will be more laborious when installing and dismantling. In addition, the Companion series is equipped with an ISOFIX connection and a 6-point harness to secure the child for maximum child comfort.
 
In addition to the Companion series, the other models mainly use engineering plastics as the skeleton, so the price is low. Cruiserfixpro is only suitable for children aged 3-12 years old, using three-point fixation, while Guardianfix Pro 2, Guardianpro 2, Comfortpro, World Plus four can be suitable for children aged 9 months -12 years old, for the pre-protector fixation, the price is between 1000-1800 yuan, the ergonomic design, fabric material and headrest shoulder strap adjustment of different models are quite different, For those who require a high level of comfort, we recommend the Guardianfix Pro 2 and Guardianpro 2.
 
Guardianfix Pro 2 is the best-selling model of Kiddy in China, priced at 1980 yuan, and the installation method adopts Isofix interface and seat belt double fixation, and it also received a 1.8 "GUT (good)" evaluation on STIFTUNG WARENTEST, which is worth buying. It should be reminded that its predecessor product, Guardianfix Pro, had the worst score of 5.5 in STIFTUNG WARENTEST, and the safety has great hidden dangers, so it is not recommended to buy, and users should pay attention to distinguish when purchasing.
