ECE R44 Regulation ( Old Standards)
ECE R44, also known as the Economic Commission for Europe Regulation 44, has been the standard for child car seats for many years. It categorizes car seats based on the child's weight and provides guidelines for their use1. The main features of ECE R44 include:
Weight-based classification: Car seats are divided into groups 0+, 1, 2, and 3 based on the child's weight.
Forward-facing seats: Children can be placed in forward-facing seats from as early as 9 kg (approximately 9 months old).
Rear-facing seats: Rear-facing seats are recommended for younger children but are not mandatory.
New Standards:
ECE R129 Regulation
ECE R129, also known as UN Regulation 129 or i-Size, is the newer and more stringent standard that aims to enhance child safety in vehicles. It focuses on the child's height rather than weight and includes several improvements over ECE R44:3
Height-based classification: Car seats are designed based on the child's height, ensuring a better fit and increased safety.
Rear-facing requirement: Children must be rear-facing until at least 15 months old or until they reach 75 cm in height.
Side-impact protection: ECE R129 includes side-impact crash tests, which were not part of the ECE R44 standard.
ISOFIX compatibility: ECE R129 car seats are designed to fit securely into vehicles using ISOFIX anchor points, reducing the risk of incorrect installation.
