How It's Done

Air Cocoon Technology™ integrated child restraints start their life as an actual pillow of air. This pillow is moulded into a child restraint, retaining the pillow-like construction while adding incredible strength and structural integrity. This manufacturing process is called blow-moulding, as opposed to injection moulding (a single, hard layer of plastic)

A good way to compare the two is to imagine a soft drink bottle (blow-moulding) to a plastic plate (injection moulding) - that is a two layer, air filled construction, opposed to a single layer, hard construction. 

Why It's Important

The 2010 revision of the Australian Standard introduced new performance requirements for side-impact testing. The biggest change was that in order to pass the Standard, child restraints had to demonstrate the ability to not only prevent the dummy's head from contacting the door, but keep the dummy's head away from the door.

Air Cocoon Technology™ integrated child restraints are able to meet and exceed this requirement without any supplementary materials or devices needing to be attached.

Highest Quality

Air Cocoon Technology™ child restraints are designed in Australia and are manufactured from high-grade polypropylene, incorporating UV stabilizers for the harsh Australian environment - which is tested to the Australian Standard requirements for toxicity.

Our unique design and manufacturing processes offer phenomenal structural strength and durability - so much so, we offer an industry-leading Lifetime Warranty* on all our A.C.T. integrated child restraint shells.
