The Swedish automaker Volvo has created an inflatable child safety seat that is fully portable, weighs less than 11 pounds, and can be fully inflated in just 40 seconds. According to news reports, the new seat is made from a special drop-stitch fabric that is commonly used in the construction of boats. The material has the ability to withstand a very high internal pressure and is sold enough to absorb the impact of a collision. Unlike traditional child safety seat, the new inflatable version faces the rear of the vehicle so that less strain is put on child’s neck in the event of a collision.
