Carbon fiber baby seat keeps Junior secure

If James Bond ever had to carry a baby instead of a bombshell in that ~~DBS~~ Ford Edge, here is the kind of seat worthy of the agent and his cargo. Created by Rory Craig, a student at the Art Center College of Design, the carbon fiber seat with Sparco belts is 3-way adjustable, reclines, and can be pulled apart to be a side infant carrier. There are even holes down the back of the seat for perfect harness adjustment. It's called the Wing Man, but you can't buy it yet – right now it's just a prototype. Rory is pitching it to Sparco, so you might want to write your local Sparco representative and help them make the right decision... Thanks for the tip, Dave!

This is truly what James Bond would use for his kids in his Aston Martin!

I love it, but the thought of driving "spirited" with a infant in the car still sounds kinda reckless no matter how safe that seat is.

Still that is the sweetest child seat ever.

I would say driving "efficiently." This way I can do a series of time trials with my son in the car to various destinations. My son's late for school you say? Nonsense, this past week I managed to shave another 2 mins and 33 secs off my previous best. My son has internal bruises done to his organs? No problem, the last time I rushed him to the hospital it was in a mere 3 minutes flat.
it's all about practicality.

Funny. My wife knows I'm a racing fan and I kept joking that we were going to get a carbon fiber baby seat. And when I shopped for a baby seat recently I even went to Sparco's website to see if they made any since I already knew that Recaro does (that's what I got).

Maybe next child.

Perfect for shaving lap times when hauling obese babies.

Have a baby for love. Not for British/German engineering.

WANT. When I have kids and if this was available, I'd get it.

As an owner of a Recaro child seat, the value of racing tech is not to haul baby and ass faster, but safer. The side protection built into race-inspired child seats make the other seats look absolutely pedestrian. I refuse to own a large car because of my son, and with the better seats, I don't feel like he is in harm's way.

I should clarify, I refuse to be "That guy" that runs out and buys the biggest frigging thing on wheels because he and his wife had a kid. I enjoy small cars, but know that the side impact protection is not as great as larger sedans, or what have you. Therefore, baby gets the best damn seat i can afford.

Makes you wanna have a kid, or if you have one you can take him with you next Sunday auto crossing.

I would buy this for friends that are expecting without a doubt. Good idea, looks well built.

Well, if he wants to really make it, he better change it to a 5 point harness.
