Volvo designs rear-facing inflatable seat for toddlers

Volvo has reportedly come up with an inflatable car seat, designed exclusively for infant and toddler safety.

According to the Verge, the Swedish carmaker’s concept seat has a built-in pump that can inflate it in just 40 seconds, and deflated, the whole package is about 18 x 20 x 8 inches (45 x 50 x 20cm) – portable enough to fit into some luggage or a large bag.

The inflatable car seat weighs just over 11 pounds (5kg).

While this is not the first time that a manufacturer has experimented with inflatables for a car seat, this appears to be the first rear-facing inflatable child seat , the report added. (ANI)
