Why It Matters

Råd&Rön has tested car seats and discovered serious flaws in a model from Britax Römer.

Font size

In the frontal crash tests that were conducted, the buckle on the child seat's belt released and came off completely, and the crash dummy was thrown from the seat.

The problem occurred when the car seat was in the rearward-facing position. When tested in the upright position and when the car seat was installed with the car's belt instead of the base, the belt did not come loose.

Råd&Rön recommends not using the Britax Römer Baby-Safe Pro with the base Vario Base 5Z in the rear-facing position.

The manufacturer Britax Römer has been informed of the result and is investigating the matter. At the moment, no decision has been made whether the chair should be recalled or stopped being sold.

Open Questions

  • Will the product be recalled?
  • What causes the buckle to come loose?

Gang rape at Cornell shows elements of rape culture

A young woman was gang-raped in a student house at Cornell University in October 2024 after being served alcohol and the drug ketamine despite being a minor. Despite her report, university and campus police removed the rape description from the report, leading to no charges being filed. Two of seven suspects were relegated while the rest received their degrees, and the woman was denied a refund of tuition fees when she dropped out. The case has been reopened by a new prosecutor and sparked widespread debate on social media about rape culture and systemic protections for perpetrators.

The Nobel Prize and the American postmodernist novelists – a growing gap?

Ten years ago, American critics said they stopped caring about the Nobel Prize because of the long wait for an American laureate. Since then, Bob Dylan and Louise Glück have received the prize, but great American novelists such as Philip Roth, Cormac McCarthy and Paul Auster have passed away, while Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon and Joyce Carol Oates have come of age. Researchers at Stockholm and Uppsala universities discuss whether the Nobel committee risks missing an important generation of postmodernist writers whose work had global significance, while noting that this group consists mainly of white men and that the prize is not awarded posthumously.
