Volvo has unveiled a new, lightweight child safety seat which is protable and uses an in-built pump to inflate /deflate.
Developed by the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Centre in Los Angeles, California, the Inflatable Child Seat Concept weighs less than 5kgs – half the weight of a regular child seat.
Current child seats, while undoubtedly safe, are bulky, difficult to instal and inconvenient to carry. The Volvo seat is easy to pack as it fits into a weekend bag and the silent-operating pump has it inflated in five seconds.
Covering is a unique drop-stitch fabric common in boating and aeronautics – it is designed for a high internal pressure and very strong when inflated.
The Volvo Inflatable Child Seat Concept is rear-facing child seat.
