Default Fantastic safety product...made in Aus

A mate of mine just got his engineering degree and has come up with a safety device that will ensure a higher level of safety for toddlers in the third world...especially India.


What do you think?

Looking good!

As some suggested added features.
  • I'd place the rope that runs across the capsule, closer to the baby's mouth, as kids love to chew and suckle on...well pretty much anything.
  • I'm assuming the round bits on either side are offered for use for the baby bag, or if it's a nice day, the owner could hang their and the babys helmet off them to air as they drive along? Could market it as alternative A/C.
  • As an additional safety feature, you could ask your mate to plasticweld the handles up, and bingo, roll cage!
I do like the way he has colour coded the rope to the trim on the capsule.

Double the revenue, by saying, that is just the town model.
You just buy two for highway use

I was thinking the chev badge will help it land in the safety of someones front bedroom.

There's a new model on the cards.

It's made from carbon fibre to keep the weight down as baby grows, also it will be made in geelong....it's a win, win for manufacturing.
