Child restraint systems are necessary for the safety of children when traveling by car, but often, on trips or when we are forced to change cars, we find that they can be a "problem." Maybe those difficulties are minimized if a inflatable car seat.
At the moment, it is just a prototype, created by the Volvo company and consisting of an inflatable chair whose weight does not reach 5 kilos and measuring 45 x 50 x 20 centimeters folded, in a small backpack. A system swells or deflates the chair in less than 40 seconds, and attempts have been made to provide it with the robustness necessary for its purpose.
For this, its inventors have used a special fabric and materials of military origin, with a particularly strong sewing system to withstand the inflation pressure. It also incorporates the straps to hold the child.
I see advantages to this inflatable retention system, which are the ones I have commented previously: for trips by plane or ship Although any car rental company in destination will offer the possibility of incorporating the retention system, with a supplement, yes, but let's think that by plane the five kilos of luggage probably also raise the cost of the ticket.
To ensure a taxi can also be fine, although in places with good communication it would not take long to send us a taxi with a seat (or seats). And this despite the fact that the new traffic law in Spain indicates that it is the users who are responsible for carrying the retention system.
Finally, in shared cars, elevators are the cheapest and equally transportable "emergency" solution, although I always remember what they told us in a childcare store, they are simply a "cap fines", but they don't provide too much security.
Which brings us to another question regarding this inflatable retention system for traveling by car: Is it really safe? Will it pass the quality standards and adapt to the regulations? How many fans will resist in good condition? And finally, how much will it cost? We will be attentive to see if it goes ahead
