Here's how to develop a Felipe Massa or Lewis Hamilton as early as possible. Student Rory Craig has developed a carbon fiber child seat as a prototype to try and sell to Sparco, the brand known for such products. It is race-inspired, as you can imagine, for those parents who like their children to also have a race-feel when being driven in something posh and fast.

Three types of seats would be on offer; the rear-facing seat for infant, upright, forward type for the toddle and a third youth booster seat. One seat for the entire development stages of a child, it achieves this ability by having an adjustable central pivot point.

Craig, who studies his art at Art Center College of Design is pitching the idea to Sparco, hence the seat does not fully function as yet. It is easy to clean, with the fully padded interior capable of being removed out of the carbon shell.

This has huge market potential. Think of all the single dads that would choose this one over the other boring child seats.

The advantage of carbon fiber is that you can have a lighter, less bulky seat with all the rigidity of blown plastic and foam types. my wife and i are looking for a less racy-looking carbon-fiber seat for our daughter's second seat for just this reason. have you seen the typical convertible car seat? this carbon-fiber seat doesn't really show off the advantages because it seems designed for show, but you can imagine the convenience.
