The restraining capacity of the present day rear-facing infant carrier (I.C.) depends on so many factors that the chance of an engineered deceleration in a medium speed impact is very small. A new concept reduces the possibility of a malfunction endangering the most affected group, the child younger than one year, considerably. The technical elements providing the deceleration were improved, but also was the handling of the unit made more independent from the input of the guardian. The new proposed concept can be used as an infant carrier in the car and home, as a stroller on the ground, as a forwardfacing child restraint for the toddler, and even as a high chair.
