Overview

• ADAC rated the Chipolino Olympus i-Size and Reecle 360 (ZA10 i-Size) as “mangelhaft” following frontal-impact evaluations.
• In testing, the Chipolino seat’s shell detached despite four fasteners, propelling the shell forward with an 11 kilogram dummy.
• The Reecle seat separated from its rotating base during a 15 kilogram dummy test, remaining on the top tether yet presenting a high injury risk.
• ADAC conducts Euro NCAP–level assessments that exceed the legally required UN ECE R129 standard both seats still meet.
• ADAC urges parents not to use or buy these models, notes manufacturers had not issued statements, and schedules full results for 21 October.
