ADAC Warns Against Two i‑Size Child Seats After Rear‑Facing Crash Failures

ADAC says both i‑Size seats meet EU rules despite failing its stricter rear‑facing crash tests.

Overview

  • The warning targets the Chipolino Olympus i‑Size and the Reecle 360, which also appears as ZA10 i‑Size or 946i i‑Size.
  • ADAC reports the seat shells detached from their bases in frontal tests when used rear‑facing, creating a severe injury risk.
  • Parents are urged to stop using these models, especially for children under two, and to ask retailers for goodwill solutions.
  • Both seats legally comply with UN ECE R129 and remain saleable in Europe, and a general right of return is not automatic.
  • Chipolino says the Olympus is sold out but dealer stock may remain, the Reecle may be listed under approval number E8‑0313715, and full ADAC results are due October 21.
