What does the award actually mean?

What is ADAC?
The Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC) is a German automobile organisation that performs rigorous crash tests on car seats. Twice a year, a selection of car seats are tested and rated.
Parents around the world all share the same concern for the safety of their children. Particularly in the car, this is a topic where compromise simply is not an option. To help parents choose the right car seat for their children, standards have been implemented across the world. The current mandatory standard is UN R-44/04. Since 2013, the UN Regulation No. 129 (R-129) runs in parallel and states that a rearward-facing car seat is mandatory for children up to at least 15 months of age. In addition to the legal requirements, car seats are also checked and tested by independent testing institutes such as the German automobile club (ADAC) and Stiftung Warentest.
The German automobile club ADAC tests car seats and infant car seats from each group in front and side impact collisions. In addition to the crash test, further tests are carried out to evaluate the safety of the child seats with regards to misuse potential, handling, ergonomic design, cleaning properties, workmanship and the presence of harmful substances. The car seats are also tested in everyday use with real children and parents. To emerge as the winner of such a test, products must meet stringent requirements in a variety of different categories
For October 2019, 20 different seats of all categories and groups were tested and rated.
