"Safety seat, traveling bed, booster cushion & purse" in one
device.

Most parents are familiar with the pains of moving the heavy
safety seats in and out of cars. Regular car seats take up too
much space to store away quickly. They are often heavy and
hard to handle which can also make them inconvenient for
taking on trips. Parents need a car seat that is conveniently
compact and can fulfill a multitude of purposes on their family
journeys.

For parents looking to eliminate the hassle of lugging around
the heavy safety seat, this is the one that is easy to travel
with/move around, complies with the European Safety
Regulation and folds to the size/shape of a purse. It offers
these benefits: install & remove within seconds on plane, in
rental/family car or taxi; occupies the space of a purse when
stored; no need to spend money on a rented car seat; multi-
function: car seat, traveling bed, booster cushion and purse;
convenient protection for the child on trip; etc.

Our design team includes the mechanical engineers from the
child seat factory and the impact test lab, the young parents
and the salesmen in the baby product shop. This team knows
what exactly to design for what exactly the parents need,
based on the professional knowledge, the parenting
experience and the users' complaint.

The biggest challenge was to reduce the size and weight and
meanwhile to fulfill the safety regulation as well. Somehow we
made it in the end. It passed the safety test of (ECE-R44) and
3C in August 2017. It took us about 2 years and everything
becomes real now.
