New ratings for six child car seats
CREP has published new ratings for six child car seats with seven configurations. Two of the convertible seats received four stars for protection in rear-facing mode, while two booster seats gained three stars in both protection and ease-of-use ratings. One convertible seat scored four stars for protection in rear facing mode, but was given 1 star in forward facing mode after the test dummy was ejected in our crash test.
