Enhancing Safety with SIP+: A Breakdown
Side impacts rank as the second most common cause of severe injuries among children in car accidents. At BeSafe, we prioritize safety above all else, which is why we've developed SIP+ - Additional Side Impact Protection. Let's delve into what SIP+ entails and why it matters.
Understanding SIP+
SIP+ stands for Additional Side Impact Protection. It's a specialized safety feature integrated into BeSafe child car seats. Crafted to absorb energy, SIP+ diminishes the strain on a child's neck and head by an additional 20% during side impacts.
Mechanism of Action
SIP+ is strategically positioned on the side of the car seat facing the door. It operates in two key ways:
- Reduced Movement: By minimizing the gap between the seat and the door, SIP+ diminishes the extent of movement during a side impact, thereby mitigating the force exerted on the child.
- Energy Absorption: Analogous to a car's crumple zone, SIP+ absorbs the energy generated by a side collision, further safeguarding the child.
Why Side Impact Protection Matters
Children are particularly vulnerable during side impacts owing to their elevated position in the vehicle and the lack of crumple zones on the sides of cars. Consequently, child car seats must offer ample protection. SIP+ complements existing safety features by significantly reducing forces on the child's head and neck region.
Validation through Testing
In rigorous testing conducted by ADAC/Stiftung Warentest, BeSafe's car seats equipped with SIP+ consistently garnered top safety ratings. Notably, the iZi Kid X2 i-Size achieved a historic safety score of 1.1, reaffirming the efficacy of SIP+ in real-world scenarios.
