@Ibelieveinsandwitches: yeah but I'd like to see alot a gamers try and fit in that thing.

Thats Dr Bear to You

@Curves: Bugaboo is perfect for that. Goes right on the stroller as well.

@Substance_D: We did and it was great, but it was deleted ;)

this looks like it would make a pretty sweet gaming chair.

Ibelieveinsandwitches

The best baby seats (for infants under 30#) are the kind that the carrier part snaps in and out of the base unit which remains attached in the car. The kid is asleep and would have to be taken out of car seat and moved to carrier anyway so its a lot less hassle. And yes, no matter what kind it is, the kid will just yack up formula all over it (and everything else) anyway.

@Alchemistmerlin: Because the "guy" in question works for Giz/Gawker? Hehe

(This may, or may not be true. As far as I know, I made it up.)

@ripfire: Gizmodo just like deletes post and tells no one...Could we get a story about why that happens?

Substance_D

Ok, that is kind of awesome looking, but not 4000 dollars and a kid awesome looking. That 4000 bucks would be better spent in a CD or something to help pay for the near-infinite college tuitions of the future.

Also: Why does Gizmodo keep deleting the article about the iPhone's Sends pictures of your wang to hot co-workers "glitch"?

Alchemistmerlin

For a real-world alternative, do a search for a Simpson Racing child seat. Usually less than $150 and still looks cool in daddy's sports car.

What happened to the iPhone glitch story? I smell c-o-n-spiracy.

How does that parent feel the second the kid yaks all over the fabric...

Does this come with an eject button in case my niece starts crying?

This will be perfect for little SteveDave. I just need to teach him to give the finger and use a Polaroid camera while I drive my pickup filled with JP-7 inverted.

I hope there's no ejection mechanism to accidentally go off, causing your child to bang its head on the roof of your minivan.

Next thing you know, Tom Cruise is getting all mopey and Tom Skerritt is boring you with tales of how brave your father was.

Cue strains of electric guitar playing the lead from the score at half-tempo.

OMG! Ponies!

@MadCrazy: Because according to the LAW here, any child under 50 pounds has to be restrained in a special car seat for their safety. If you hold a child and are in a forward impact crash your weight crushes the child. THATS why. Tard.

Curves

How about just holding em in your arms, that way maybe they won't grow up to, hate you/be miserable.

Just a thought.

MadCrazy

@Lite: With a Nissan Z28. At about 2 meters.

@Curves:

Where in that text did I ask why?

MadCrazy

@andypennell: You are right. But it's moot because there isn't a car in the world, outside of maybe a limosine, that this contraption would fit into.

HDC

Er isn't carbon fibre the stupidest choice possible as it shatters when impacted from the "wrong" direction? Take a look at an F1 car after it hits a wall: the carbon fibre suspension shatters into millions of pieces. *Before* it hits the wall its great, as that's the "good" direction its being stressed on. The safety cage around the driver isn't made of carbon fiber, its made of steel.

@Curves: too bad my kid never sleep in the car or that might have been a consideration. why can't she sleep in the car?! why?!

jeepingeek

@indiefab: recaro also makes some pretty sweet ones but they are normally a couple hundred or more. still not 4K though

jeepingeek

I was totally sold on using this, in a few years that is..., until you said $4000...

@MadCrazy: You questioned "How about holding em in your arms...?" Curves responded "why" you shouldn't, which is how the normal question/answer routine goes.
But she did leave out one fact. In a crash, the child's weight multiplies, so instead of a 25 lb infant, you are holding a 150lb infant who will hit the dashboard or seat in front of you within 1/10 of a second, so if you AREN'T bear hugging them at all times, you will have NO reaction time to try and hold onto them. Also, if your car has airbags, you have now smashed the child in between you and a explosively fired bag which can launch a 50 gallon drum in the air.

But you are correct. If you hold your child, they won't get a chance TO grow up, so they can never be miserable or hate you.

My wife and I love the Orbit system and we travel quite a bit.

[www.orbitbaby.com]

On the first x-country trip one of the front wheels was lost in the cargo hold and the cup holder cracked. Called customer service and they overnighted a pair of redesigned front wheel assemblies and a new cupholder with the hex wrench to do the job to our hotel. We've been around the world with it now and no more fails. It's a great travel system.

this will most likely be purchased by a large number of rich people making the person who created this idea very rich while the rest of us who still eat at McDonalds will continue to comment on the futility of such a chair. :(
