Volvo auto parts have always been number one in innovative car safety technology. It is no surprise therefore that they have developed a protective cushion for children who outgrew their toddler seats. Popular Science Magazine was not surprised either that the Swedish-established carmaker could make something like this, so they praised Volvo’s keen engineering. They gave international acclaim to Volvo’s engineering team, knowing they were very successful in giving a very safe and comfortable travel experience to the children.

The Child Booster Cushion works simply: it is combined with an inflatable curtain and tougher side body structure with load limiting seat belts, which will seat child passengers properly and cushion any impact forced upon them. This system was chosen among thousands of new products and innovations, and was selected as one of the 100 best new technologies for the year 2007. The title given to Volvo is the Best of What’s New award. Another best safety system from the makers of the Volvo auto parts indeed.

Since the design’s first launch in 2001, it has received many revisions to make it as polished and as fitting as it is today. The acknowledgment that Popular Science Magazine bestowed upon the system may help translate into bigger Volvo sales figures. But even without it, many parents will surely make the wise choice in purchasing this Booster Cushion when it comes out.
