On April 25th 2016, Which? published an article on their website regarding alleged changes to UK child car restraint regulations.
It is our firm position that THE ARTICLE IS NOT ACCURATE.
On Wednesday, April 27 the UK Department for Transport refuted the Which? article.
The content of the article has received widespread coverage in the media and has raised many questions regarding backless booster seats. This notice is to clarify the situation and to reassure our customers that the Mifold Grab-and-go booster seat has successfully exceeded all relevant regulatory requirements and is completely unaffected by the changes discussed in the Which? article.
We have discussed the inaccuracy of the article with the Head of Crash Injury Mitigation at the UK Department for Transport (DfT) the department responsible for UK child car restraint regulations. They have confirmed that the DfT refutes claims made by the Which? article.
We have reached out to Which? several times to discuss the article. To-date, the authors have not made themselves available for comment.
Backless booster seats are a safe, well-established, practical, convenient, proven and cost effective method of restraining a child in cars. Please find below additional information on our position.
Yours sincerely
