CREP Test results (Feb 2011) can be found here.

Width of 3 and 4 star rated seats- please check the accuracy of measurements before purchasing.
The thread which discusses the width of 3 and 4 star rated seats from the 2011 CREP results is here

The link to the previous pinned thread regarding CREP and dimensions is here.

You are welcome to add to this thread in regards to dimensions as required and I will update periodically.

If you have a question you would like to put to other members regarding CREP testing or width of seats please post a new topic in the forum as your question will likely be missed by most members if posted in this pinned thread.

All the best,

Just some nquick measurements I have taken from our Infa Exceed:
The top shoulder slot is - 45cms
Seat to the base of head rest - 40cms
Internal seat width - 31cms
External seat width at top of seat (widest point) - 48cms
External seat width at arm rests - 45cms
External seat width at front of base of the seat - 41cms

All measurements are with the seat fabric in place but pushed in, so mainly of the actual seat shell if you wanted to know how wide it was with the fabric not squished in I would add about 1 cm to each measurement.
Hope that helps original.gif

Just going to add an update for those who are looking to purchase new seats.

In the 0-4yrs category all the SnS seats (excluding the Meridian AHR T&A) have been heavily modified and are totally different seats to those reviewed in the CREP testing.

The CREP testing only tested 2004 standard seats. SnS Seats with the height markers are 2010 standard seats and are totally different seats to those tested by CREP previously even though they may have the same name. The same goes for the Hipod 0-4yrs seat.

Capsules do not appear to have changed.

The 6m-7yrs convertible boosters do not appear to have changed (maybe the SnS MaxiRider AHR has slightly bigger side wings).


So please bear this in mind when reviewing CREP ratings that much has changed and many of the seats you are now viewing on the marker are NOT the same ones which CREP has rated (even though they may have the same name).
