i-Size text
• 5.2 “A type of Child Restraint System approved according to this regulation shall not bear another approval mark according to R44.”
Questions: • How should “type” be interpreted? • Does this mean that one CRS, identical in shape, form
and name, shall not bear both an R44 and i-Size label? • How different should 2 CRS be, to be allowed to have
differs in size, form or name between them?

Dual approval
Not Possible
R44
1 seat, containing 2 labels on the same physical product.
Definition: To identify this situation, it’s
enough to have 1 product at hand

Separate Approval
Possible
Name = ABC
• A seat meeting all req’s of i-Size
Name = XYZ
• A seat meeting all req’s of R44
R44
Seats are different by
name.
2 physically similar seats !
Definition: To identify this
situation, you need to buy 2
products.

Current situation in the market : Infant Carriers
Since 30 years a solution has been developed for global transportation of babies : The travel system.
A system allowing the fluent transportation of a baby from home to pushchairs and to the car.

Stroller often the driver to the infant carrier purchase
This system includes a belted infant carrier, a stroller and a base which facilitates installation in cars
The introduction of isofix bases represents an improvement for ease of use.
However flexibility is still needed by consumers: installation of shell only; installation of shell on base.

i-Size Possibilites
2 possibilities of infant carrier + base.
1. R44 infant carrier + base = i-Size
2. Infant carrier + base = i-Size
![Page 8: CLEPA analysis Future i-Size approval possibilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e3a550346895da82015/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• A babyshell is quite different compared to a babyshell + base . (looks, mass, volume etc)
• It should be classified as a different “type” in the i-Size definition.

R44
1. i-Size containing an R44 element
2. i-SizeNo homologation
Meets all i-Size criteria Meets all i-Size criteria

Expected misuse; Infant Carrier w.o. any attachment provision
I-Size Infant Carrier with creative belt installation.
Eg., this is dangerous!

Consequences & Proposed Solution
• Scenario 1 allows possibility to integrate infant carriers within i-Size (mitigating the risks) and will continue, with the removal of R44 and the introduction of belted products in Reg 1XX.
• Scenario 2 may have the following consequences : – Possibility to introduce, in an i-Size system with base, an infant
carrier not homologated without belt routing (no labelling), with an important risk of Misuse
– Manufacturer won’t use i-Size Reg with infant carrier on an isofix base
– With removal of isofix from R44 and removal of belts from Reg 1XX, no more isofix base for infant carrier.
