In the last analysis of child restraint systems conducted by the OCU, two of the models were found to be unsafe in the frontal crash tests. It's about the chairs Babystyle Oyster + Base Duofix Isize and the chair Chicco Oasys i-Size + Base i-Size.
Babystyle Oyster + Base Duofix Isize In the first case, during the frontal crash tests performed with a dummy (the test dolls) that simulates a 1 and a half year old child, the Babystyle Oyster + Base Duofix Isize chair farewell from the base forward, which implies a risk of severe damage to the child in the event of an accident.
This is because the metal bars that should hold the chair to the base leave its plastic guide during the crash.
For its part, in the Chicco Oasys i-Size + Base i-Size model (which can be purchased with the Chicco Trio Style Go Up and Trio Love Up sets), one of the buckles that anchor the harness of the chair suffered a break. The result was that the test doll was not subject, so in case of a serious accident, the child would be exposed to great damage.
In the last annual analysis of the OCU, the two models have obtained “bad results” in the frontal crash tests.
