Germany’s largest automotive trade show, the IAA Mobility, is currently showcasing cutting-edge technology and innovations in the automotive industry. From autonomous driving to advanced safety features, car enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the latest developments. However, one crucial aspect of comfort and ergonomics is often overlooked – the car seat.
According to Detlef Detjen, Managing Director of Aktion Gesunder Rücken (Campaign for Healthier Backs), up to 12 percent of a car’s development costs can be attributed to the seat. “But not every seat advertised as back-friendly, actually is,” he warns. Aktion Gesunder Rücken (AGR) e. V. offers a solution to this problem with its internationally recognized seal of approval for back-friendly products, including car seats. Many leading car manufacturers offer AGR-certified seats in their models.
“Sitting still for long periods is a major cause of back problems,” explains Detjen. “An ergonomic seat is the backbone of any healthy journey.” For 30 years, the independent medical commission of AGR experts has been testing and certifying car seats that are particularly back-friendly. With expertise from over 150,000 specialists in various fields, AGR also influences industrial development.
The AGR seal of approval is recognized as a trustworthy quality mark and a reliable guide by the medical community, consumers, and industry alike. To earn the respected AGR seal of approval, a car seat must pass rigorous testing and meet several criteria. These include an extendable seat surface, adjustable height and tilt, four-way lumbar support, and adjustable headrests for optimal individual settings. Dynamic seat systems with inflatable cushions provide lateral support when taking corners, while breathable fabrics maintain an optimal seat climate.
The AGR seal of approval is displayed on the product, in its description, or in its technical data, depending on the manufacturer. A list of models offering AGR seats is available on the AGR website, along with information on how to adjust the seat correctly.
