About Air Protect™

For over 25 years, Safety 1st has been providing innovative products all over the world to help provide a safer environment for children. It is in this tradition that we proudly announce Air Protect™ Side Impact Technology.

What is Air Protect™ Technology?

Dorel Juvenile Group’s patent pending Air Protect Technology is one of the most innovative safety features ever offered in a car seat. It is an innovative technology that helps protect our children during side impact collisions where they are most vulnerable – the head.

How does Air Protect work?

Two layers of defence in a side impact crash

Through the precise release of air, Air Protect compresses and shields children from side impact intrusion and immediately reduces crash forces at the most critical spot: around a child’s head. Air Protect does this by extending ride-down, the amount of time it takes to slow a child’s movement in a crash.

Why is Air Protect different?

Primary Focus on Head Protection

Air Protect Technology has been designed to defend against one of the biggest threats to children on the road today - side impact collisions. The placement of Air Protect Technology on the car seat diverts crash forces away from the child’s head, one of the most vulnerable places in a side impact crash.
