About Materials

Such properties of Babylon child car seats, as quality, safety, lifetime and comfort, depend directly on the materials used. Therefore, we choose our suppliers particularly carefully and work only with those companies that have excellent reputations and comply with European standards.

However, even reliable suppliers offer materials that may differ in quality, for instance, plastic materials can differ in the degree of impact resistance and lifetime, whereas fabrics differ in durability and breathability levels, as well as in the irresistance to soiling and tensile strength.

Babylon chooses the most durable, reliable and functional materials. Babylon specialists pay close attention to every component of the future child car seat:

  • Plastic: we carry out conformity of production tests and impact strength tests, we test plastic for toxic contaminants, and check the availability of certificates of safety compliance.
  • Filling material: special focus is on cold tolerance, on the absence of offensive odors when the material gets wet, and on durability – the filling material must keep its shape and remain soft regardless of a child’s weight and restlessness.
  • Upholstery fabrics: we carry out durability, breathability and waterproof testing, and assess the criterion of easy care – dirt should be easily removed from the fabric and the fabric should dry quickly.
  • Fittings: we check their strength, reliability andsimplicity of use – all clasps and buckles must be strong, but convenient in daily use.

First Babylon specialists examine and confirmall material properties stated, and then we begin the next stage, and namely assess their actual performance. All new materials are necessarily introduced in Babylon product prototypes, they undergo complex testing and are thoroughly examined and checked across the full range of contexts.

Materials are allowed for use in Babylon child car seats production only after all tests are finished, however every new batch of materials is carefully monitored by quality control specialists. It gives us confidence that each child car seat in anymodel range we produce will conform to all specifications stated.
