• Group Jané

Early history

Jané Group headquarters is located in Barcelona (the 10th-most-visited city in the world and the third most visited in Europe after London and Paris, with several million tourists every year, Barcelona is ranked the most popular city to visit in Spain) and it dates back to 1932.

Jané Group has his own Design offices also based in Barcelona and Stuttgart, integrating a multidisciplinary team of Industrial, graphic and fashion designers, engineers, mechanics, etc.

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of car seats, pushchairs and baby products, the group operates in more than 30 countries in Europe and more than 20 countries in South America, Asia, Africa and Oceania.

Jané currently has over 85 years’ experience in the pushchair, child safety, child care and maternity industry, and has led the Spanish industry for many years.

It all started when Manuel Jané Vidal, challenged by his father (who was a locksmith by trade), proudly created a pushchair for his newborn son. The invention caused so much admiration from his friends and neighbours that he was encouraged to build a couple more pushchairs that could be folded, making them much more practical and functional. Manuel took his creations to one of the main department stores in Barcelona and just one week later the first orders arrived. That is how Jané was born, and, over the years, many other innovations were created.

Since child safety is paramount, Jané always strives to exceed industry regulations in terms of research and development. Technological and design innovation guarantees that are the products are created for the health and safety of babies. The company is committed to developing revolutionary, patent-protected products to produce pushchairs and car seats of higher quality than those of the competition.

Commitment

The strength of the Jané Group as a brand is based on two distinctive values.

Firstly, the brand’s commitment to solidarity. Throughout history, the Jané Group has been committed to child safety through studies and educational programmes in which we teach children about road safety.

Secondly, our product range is based on continuous research and constant development. Our philosophy has always been to offer the best, most distinctive and unique products, while ensuring that they have been carefully developed to offer the best possible performance. In recent years new brands have appeared in the sector with an extensive distribution in the market of products based on trends and fashion, and designed for short-term use. The Jané Group strategy has always been the complete opposite. We guarantee the durability and quality of our products and are committed to covering the needs of families by meeting all their expectations.

It is unquestionable that the Jané Group is a leader in baby and family care. Our ability to communicate, our sense of responsibility and our tireless involvement make our commitment to society completely natural. That’s what makes us different, original and absolutely authentic.

Jané Crash Test research center, going beyond regulatory requirements

The Jané Group has its own child safety research and development centre: The Jané Crash Test Research Center, a laboratory designed with the aim of testing car safety seats.

The JANÉ CRASH TEST CENTER was created in 2003 when, as a result of the company’s commitment to child safety, it decided to set up its own research and development centre, where it could put the car seats to the limit to take safety beyond the regulatory requirements. The laboratory is the only private crash tunnel in Spain and is one of the most advanced in the world. It is equipped in accordance with ECE regulations and is set up to stage crashes at a greater speed than those defined in the EURO-NCAP test protocol.

The JANÉ CRASH TEST CENTER makes it possible to design child safety products that have been subjected to tests that are even stricter than those required by regulations and test the products as many times as necessary to offer one of the most tested seats on the market and with the strictest certification of Europe.

The laboratory consists of a catapult type crash tunnel, designed exclusively for car safety seats, that allows different speeds of impact to be tested (up to more than 65 km / h). Three types of crashes are tested: frontal, rear and side.

The tests are carried out with all the groups of child safety seats: from newborn up to 36 kilos. The laboratory has all the P series of dummies available and also the advanced Q series (dummies fitted with state-of-the-art technology with sensors, accelerometers, etc. and with advanced biofidelity).

Each car seat is tested with the dummy with the right size and weight for the group being tested. The dummies, whose body is a replica of the representative child for each group or age, are made with maximum biofidelity and with sensors that measure decelerations in different parts of the body, as well as torsion, bending or intrusions that occur to critical parts of the baby’s body.

After each crash precise readings are obtained from each of these sensors which, along with the visual inspection and readings offered by the high speed cameras (more than one thousand images per second), help us to improve our products.

The Jané Crash Test Research Center laboratory also has the technology necessary to carry out the tests defined in the stricter «i-Size» regulations. We have the technology necessary to perform side impact crashes and those under the new Isofix specifications. Thanks to this centre, we have been able to develop innovative and unique products like the Groowy car seat, the first evolutionary i-Size car seat for use from birth up to 150 cm.

Thanks to the constant research carried out at the Jané «Crash Test Research Center» laboratory, assessments of the highest level have been achieved.
