Air on the Side of Caution

August 25, 2009; 7:57 pm by Leigh Goldman Balber

Air car seatTake the word “air,” engage in a little free association, and phrases such as Air Jordans, Air Supply, air pollution (and, possibly even, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) may come to mind. Car seat’s not likely to make the list. Until now.

Safety 1st has just introduced the Complete Air Convertible car seat. It uses air to protect a baby’s head from a side impact crash. Not to be confused in any way with an airbag, the Air Protect system inside the seat’s side head flaps not only shields the head but also reduces crash forces. Side impact crashes have increased by 20% over the past two decades and are among the deadliest. One quarter of all crashes involving children are side impact crashes. Air Protect technology was developed in conjunction with Kettering University’s Crash Safety Center. The Complete Air Convertible car seat is for kids 5-50 pounds and has a five-position adjustable headrest.

Air you go.
