Talk to an Expert
+44 (0)1438 415718The principle of children’s product testing is similar to that for general furniture, but with a much stronger emphasis on safety, including strict dimensional requirements to ensure small limbs will not become entrapped and cause injury.
The testing of children’s furniture is critical, and covered by various standards and regulations. Safety is at the centre of all the testing our experts conduct, and something which consumers look to prior to purchase.
Our experts test all types of:
- Cots and cot bumpers
- Cot beds, junior beds, play beds, high beds and bunk beds
- Highchairs
- Changing units
- Pushchairs
- Stairgates
- Children’s seating, tables and storage furniture
