XSCi: We All Know That Airbags Save Lives - Now Your Baby Can Take Advantage Of This Safety Technology As Well

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.Nov. 1, 2002; If you have ever questioned the safety of transporting your baby (weighing between 5 and 22 pounds) in your Car, Van or Pick-up, check out the new Pioneered(TM) Airbag Compatible (rear-facing) Infant Safety Seat. The Pioneered(TM) Infant Seat is immediately available at The Right Start stores nationwide.

The revolutionary Pioneered(TM) Infant Car Seat was developed over nine years using XSCi patented innovations, state-of-the-art technology and industry-leading testing parameters. Their exhaustive research has enabled XSCi to deliver to parents the only Infant Safety Seat that that can be safely used in the front seat of a vehicle (with or without an airbag) and it meets or exceeds all National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety standards. Similar to the design of a football or motorcycle helmet, it has a system that suspends the infant in a cradle. The removable cradle is attached to a platform that is suspended by shock absorbing mounts from the base that attaches to the seat using most conventional passenger seat restraint systems. The base has a deflection shield that actually uses the airbag's energy to better stabilize the Pioneered(TM) Infant Seat in the event of an accident.

This seat is the safest available means for transporting infants, but it may not be suitable for everyone and therefore, the professional staff at The Right Start stores will assist potential buyers in understand the merits and unique safety features that the Pioneered (TM) Infant Car Seat offers.

"Airbags save lives, we simply applied the same engineering principles which are used to protect traveling adults, to infants," said Dave Clement, Director of Engineering at Safety Concepts (XSCi). If you would like more information go to the Safety Concepts Web site: www.safeinfant.com.
