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.
