[Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] Kiddy World Plus by
KIDDY USA INCThe Kiddy World Plus is a German engineered and designed car seat that utilizes a Protection Shield in place of a traditional harness. The traditional harness holds the child in such a manner that the energy in a frontal crash is absorbed solely in the neck area. With the Kiddy Protection Shield the energy is absorbed through the upper portion of the child's body reducing the impacts of whiplash. With a traditional harness the child can unbuckle and get out of their car seat by themselves. With the Protection Shield the location of the buckle is below the child's hip making it almost impossible for them to unbuckle the car seat on their own. Another great feature of the Protection Shield is the application for children with special needs. Austic children and those with Down Syndrome do not find this seat as confining as one with a traditional harness. It is very difficult for them to get out of as well. Launch date: April 2012.
