We’re always improving what’s new
It’s always been our philosophy to keep upgrading what has already been established by incorporating new ideas and technologies and developing innovative safety concepts. For example with the HY5, we picked up on the trend of combining several types of kids car seats into a single product.
It also uses our very own SAS technology, which combines with its exceptional design to create an unmistakable game-changer. In other words, we’re very proud of the fact that we’ve created something that questions all previous products or even surpasses them.
The HY5 has an Air Control System and a Side-Air-Suspension System, which join forces to form the intelligent part of the seat.

Approval
This is the guarantee that the kids car seat conforms to legal requirements. The approval of our kids car seat includes front, rear impact and rollover tests. The HY5 has also been tested for the use with only the lap belt.
UN-ECE
The HY5 is UNIVERSAL certified in accordance with UN-ECE R44/04 and marked with an orange seal of approval. The kids car seat can thus be used in all vehicles with a three-point belt. The installation with the lap belt is primarily for use in aircrafts, but is also intended for vehicles that are old or have been converted for travel purposes.
Lateral impact safety
The SAS System provides excellent protection in the case of a side collision. Additional safety elements are therefore unnecessary, thus 3 seats fit side by side even in the compact class.
Three-point harness
The three-point harness provides maximum safety for your child and also makes it faster to attach and release.
Installation in the vehicle
The HY5 can be simply installed using the vehicle’s seatbelt.
Top Tether
The additional belt at the top of the kids car seat reduces forward displacement of the head in the case of a head-on collision.
The safest place in the car
The safest place for children is behind the front seats. The seatbelts must be strapped in a way that is right for the kids car seat. A proper vehicle seat with a three-point harness is necessary. Systems with only lap belts are not suitable. The seat can be mounted at the front, but the passenger seat airbag must be deactivated.
Note: Please consult the vehicle manual before buying a kids car seat.
Is the seat installed properly?
Checklist:
- Are both seatbelts parallel to one another under the seatbelt harness?
- Is the seatbelt tight enough and not loose anywhere?
- Is the blue belt clip closed?
- Is the seat aligned correctly?
- Finally, check whether the lap belt is tight enough.
Is your child fastened in the harness correctly?
Checklist:
- Your child’s bottom should be at the back of the seat against the backrest.
- The shoulder straps should be tight and lie snugly against the body.
- The buckle clip should be closed.
- The headrest should be adjusted to allow a maximum space of two fingers between the child’s shoulders and the headrest.
