Taxie - Child Safety Seat For Taxis And Cabbies

If child seats are compact enough to store in every car, children will be well-protected on the road. Taxie is a foldable child safety seat that makes this possible, allowing share cars like taxis and Uber vehicles to carry a child seat at all times. Children between 15 months to 12 years of age will be protected at the latest ECE-R129 standard. Through studies, the designers identified the top three reasons that deter a share car drivers from providing a child safety seat: children of different ages require different types of seat, a child safety seat is too bulky to store in the car boot, setting up a child seat and dismantling them take up precious time. It would be impossible for drivers to carry various sizes of child safety seat to accommodate every passenger’s needs. It would also be inconvenient to make drivers collect the child seat from their headquarters every time they have to pick up a family, only to return the child seat after the passengers have alighted. Taxie would help drivers provide a better service for families with children. It can be converted into three different types of child safety seats – for infants, for toddlers and for children 4 years and above. Simply unlock the base, flip it over, adjust the headrest and the driver is good to go. Designed for children with heights 76cm and above, it is a scalable product that is the size of a piece of hand luggage. When not in use, the seat can be folded and stored in the boot, while still leaving plenty of room for passenger’s luggage. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Ready to Launch | Childhood
