To ensure that the SafeGuard Child Seat is the most advanced child seat ever built, SafeGuard engineers subjected it to the most rigorous and extensive testing conducted in the industry. Testing was carried out at the Center for Advanced Product Evaluation (CAPE), a state-of-the-art crash-test facility capable of imitating extreme environmental conditions and crash scenarios. Currently, government standards only require a total of 16 test configurations for child seats. SafeGuard and CAPE engineers went above and beyond government standards to test the SafeGuard Child Seat to more than 25 test configurations.(2)
