There’s more to the freed up space offered by the Lounge Console concept as seen on the Volvo XC 90 Excellence – the design team at the Swedish automaker has come up with a child seat concept utilising the space left by the removal of the front passenger seat.
The resulting Excellence Child Safety Seat concept enables the parent to swivel the seat counter-clockwise when seating the child – making it easier to get the child in and out of the seat without compromising comfort – before locking the seat in a safe rearward facing position. The seat comes equipped with a tilt function.
The rear-facing seating position, aside from bringing parent and child closer together, is based on the automaker’s clear safety stand that small children should travel rearward facing as long as possible, at least up to the age of three or four. This is primarily due to the lack of muscular strength in the necks of small children and the disproportionate head size and weight in relation to the body.
The concept also includes smart storage for vital child accessories, accomodating small items beside the seat and offering space underneath the seat for diapers, blankets and larger items. There’s also space for a tote bag at the front of the seat, under the dashboard.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is an excellent concept. The current rear facing seats in the market have a common problem – limited leg room for the toddlers (especially the larger toddlers, who may need to fold up their legs in an awkward and uncomfortable position). This totally solves the leg room problem.
No RV car, buy Toyota the best investment for your life. Buy Volvo later regret when trade-in nego and shown hailat.
Who needs those craps safety seat VSC TC?
*sarcasm*
Seems many don’t understand what sarcasm means.
awkward when the couple goes out alone without the child.
But works best if its a maid instead of the mom.
TOYOTA investment is sucks.
I do not want to own and drive a second rated cheaper CAR with a Toyota badge when i am above average enough to buy and drive a new Volvo .
Volvo give sound investment for Safety to insure my life unlike TOYOTA investment that is gambling with Life safety.Look at number of worldwide TOYOTA recalls that had kill many owners. Is TOYOTA good investment to kill owners or people? NO, it is a sick and bad investment to buy TOYOTA
Now your baby can also ride first class!
Jpj approve or not this car seat… later buy also kena saman…
isn’t that the front seat area much higher risk of getting injure in a crash?
crash from behind then it’s better actually. crash from front depends on combined crash speed and collide with what, lorry/bikes/trees/walls etc…more than 80kph, not much difference..
Best safety child seat i ever seen. i am sure at speed of 180km/h even crash at the concrete wall,the child won’t fatal.
If it so good why it can’t sell and now by communist China
Even in KL City Center I seen so many times parents riding motorcycles with children under age of 5, some r babies with their mom at the back..some without helmets…mostly are malay and indian family..Volvo should develop some safety child seats for our motorbikes city center market. Advanced country soon.
Volvo don’t make motorbike lah !
Volvo makes motorbike lah asshole, dun pretend u know lah, search Volvo 650 GS motorbike asshole.
This will make the father feels like a chauffeur ..
Very humiliating
It is useful but yet, not practical for long term use of the car. Unless, the portion can be converted back to a normal seat, what will we do with it once the child grows up?
She’s too hot to be a mom !
I thought it is dangerous to place kids carseat in the front?
