Volvo's Inflatable Car Seat Concept

Apr-15-14 Volvo has introduced an inflatable car seat concept, making the bulky devices easier to carry and store.

Designing car seats is not new territory for Volvo, who introduced what they call the first rear-facing child seat 50 years ago. The new inflatable seat can pack down to the size of small backpack, allowing it to be stored in an airline carry-on compartment, and is equipped with a quiet pump system able to fully inflate it within 40 seconds. The seat can even be inflated remotely, via a Bluetooth connection, and weighs only 5 pound (half the weight of a standard car seat).

The seat is still in the concept stage—not yet ready for market—and will require vigorous testing to assure parents that is safe for use.
