Guardian Safety Seat

Serenity Safety Products — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:18:22 GMT

Designated as one of the "Hot Products" from the EMS Today 2008 conference, the Guardian Safety Seat is an attendant seat designed to also accommodate children of all ages and sizes. The Guardian allows infants (from 5 lbs.), toddlers and larger children (up to 85 lbs.) to be safely and comfortably restrained in a five-point harness. With its "4 seats in one" design, the Guardian replaces separate infant, toddler and booster seats, but keeps its capabilities hidden inside an incredibly strong and comfortable adult attendant seat. The Guardian also provides additional safety for adult passengers by being one of the few attendant seats that has been crash tested in the rear facing position.
