Child protection seats in cars

British engineers have designed a special chair, like a cocoon, mounted on a car exclusively for children to prevent accidents.

When an accident happens as two vehicles collide, the car is overturned . then immediately this seat will inflate the airbag to enclose the child, a special device will immediately transmit an emergency signal to inform the authorities the position of the vehicle and that is the priority call on the line. The outside of the bag is a fireproof, insulating cover, and the air inside is enough for children to breathe within 20 minutes. Attaching the seat to the car or disassembling is quick and easy.

The chair, called Carkoon , is expected to go on sale next year for £ 499. Unlike traditional airbag against normal injury, airbags on Carkoon seats are tough enough to withstand any mechanical impact in an accident. Inventor Jullian Preston Powers said this is important because when the car is moving at a speed of only about 50km / hour, if an accident happens, only one bottle of water in the car can be fatal. .

The idea of ​​designing Carkoon's chair came to the Jullian Preston-Powers when he talked to the injured fireman in his hand trying to save a child from a burnt, sad car that was unsuccessful firefighter and baby. dead. Mr. Preston-Powers is urging authorities to have a Carkoon seat in the car when the car is carrying children 4 years old or younger.

According to the Daily Mail, the prototype of the Carkoon chair was tested in the Berkshire transportation research lab last March. However, before being officially launched to the market, it is still necessary to continue improving the cooling and insulation technology of airbags to ensure maximum safety for children and ease of rescue work.
