BeSafe Stretch is the safest toddler seat in ADAC’s autumn test 2022 and has a total score of 2.9!
It is especially the safety aspect in the ADAC test that again stands out as “Very Good” with a score of 1.2. This result makes BeSafe Stretch both the safest seat ever till 7 years and the safest belt-installed toddler seat ever in the ADAC/Stiftung Warentest child seat test!
With this, BeSafe Stretch has shown an excellent result in several tests, only shortly after its launch in May 2022. The seat has already been a test winner in both Norway and Sweden by “best-i-test.nu” and has also passed the Swedish Plus Test, which is known as the world’s toughest crash test.

Going beyond just test scores
We’re happy to see BeSafe Stretch perform so well in this test, but its safety goes beyond that – in real life. For example, accidents can appear at various speed levels, often have multiple impact points, and can be at very differing impact angles. Rear facing seats like BeSafe Stretch protect your child even better in real life than what you see in test results.

Various opinions on the handling evaluation; we register the difference between test and real life
We are sorry to see that Stiftung Warentest/ADAC evaluated BeSafe Stretch’s handling negatively, which lead to an additional downgrade of the total score as well. This is as expected, because belt-installed seats with lower tethers always get similar bad ratings in this test.
This is a subjective rating from a few testers though, and the feedback we have received from the markets and many parents since the launch of Stretch is that this seat is very straightforward to install and much easier than other belt-installed seats.
When the Scandinavian organisation “best-i-test” evaluated BeSafe Stretch, they in fact came to another conclusion: “It is simply not possible to miss something in any of the important steps”. *
To further help parents with the installation though, we have introduced a new digital user guide on BeSafe Stretch, which can easily be accessed by a QR code that is permanently attached to the seat. This guide gives you the choice to watch the instruction video, access the user manual again, or also find your customer support contact should you still have questions.
