Volvo Excellence Child Safety Seat – simpler and safer

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.

  • 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.

          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

      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..

    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?
