According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, the correct use of child restraint systems can reduce the probability of infant death after a collision by 90%, and reduce infant mortality by 54% -80%. So Xiaomi has now crowdfunded the QBORN 360° Rotating Car Seat for kids aged 0-12 years, and it’s set at the price of 1399 yuan, or $200.

The QBORN 360° Rotating Car Seat has passed the rigorous 18kg backward impact test of the European Union, and can be reverse installed for toddlers of up to  4 years old. Compared to the traditional forward seat belt installation, reverse-mounted child safety seats can reduce the impact force from the front by at least 80%. This allows it to be used longer and improve the safety of the seat.

The seat is made up of a double-layer injection-molded shell, plus high-strength, impact-resistant high-end energy-absorbing cushioning material EPP, and an outer high-density sponge U-shaped pillow. Together, these form a four-layer defense system, dispersing pressure and providing comfort and support for your baby’s head and neck.

It also supports 360° interference-free one-button rotation. By pressing the front button, it can rotate freely in any direction. It’s more convenient and flexible in use, making it simpler to interact with the child in the seat. Overall, it’s certainly an interesting idea for a product, and the execution is quite impressive. For now, it’s only available via Xiaomi Youpin, so you’ll have to import one if you want to get it.
