Baby Travel 2.0

The 'Tot Pod' Concept for Samsonite

Aldo Barreto, industrial design student from Ontario Canada, has designed this ultramodern baby car seat for competition for luggage company Samsonite. Barreto's goal with this project was to, "Design a child transportation vessel that eliminates the inconvenience brought on by a multitude of redundant child travel products."

The 'Tot Pod' has an integrated child restraint system, carrying handle and a useful storage compartment in the back. Barreto's concept also has drop down wheels to convert the car seat to a stroller. When not in use the whole thing folds shut like a clam shell.
