On 25th October, 2016, Which? announced that the Nuna REBL car seat had failed it's safety test when used rear-facing. It scored so poorly, in fact, that it has been given a score of 0% and a label of "don't buy".

Whilst it has passed the regulation tests for UN ECE R129 (for use from birth to four years), and Which? confirm that it has a 4 star safety rating for forward facing use, it's rearward facing score was so dire that no benefits could outweigh it. This means that, for all children who are either too young to be allowed to ride forward facing, or for the multitude of parents (including myself) who choose to do extended rear facing (ERF) and keep their child rear-facing until the age of 4, driving over the speed of 30mph poses a serious risk of injury and even death.

I am incredibly disappointed that Nuna have marketed themselves as one of the safest car seats on the market (with the price tag to match), yet are content with only passing the minimum safety requirements. I am therefore calling on Nuna to issue a product recall, and allow any person who is unhappy with allowing their child to continue using the REBL to get a full refund or exchange.

Nuna have advised to approach the appropriate retailer for a refund or exchange, however several are saying that they cannot allow this without an official product recall being issued. Please, support me in asking Nuna to keep child safety at the top of their priorities.
