Note that the seats had already passed federal safety standards. Consumer Reports, on the other hand, used different standards that applied for new car tests. The Evenflo Discovery, Graco SafeSeat, and the Britax Companion were among the nine that failed CR’s tests methodology. The makers point out their seats have successfully met or even exceeded government standards. They also dispute the magazine’s using new standards, pointing out that the higher speeds used may not result in a safer seat.
