1 in 4 car crashes involving children are 
side impact collisions. They are by far the 
deadliest type of collision for children, 
accounting for 1 in 3 child fatalities; nearly all 
of which are caused by head trauma. These 
are frightening facts, but Safety 1st has been 
by your side for over 25 years providing 
innovative products to help protect your child 
from becoming a statistic. It is in this tradition 
that we proudly announce Air Protect® side 
impact technology.

Safety 1st engineers designed Air Protect® 
using next generation testing methods that 
simulate the most violent types of side 
impact crashes, those with vehicle intrusion. 
Using this advanced methodology, Air 
Protect® was engineered to defend your 
child in two vital ways.  During a crash, the 
system immediately shields your child’s head 
from the impact. In a second layer of defense, 
Air Protect® allows air to escape from the 
headrest: channeling crash energy away from 
your child, creating more ride down time. It is 
this double layer of protection that makes Air 
Protect® technology unique.

At Safety 1st, we are proud of our history, 
but are always looking towards the future 
and developing innovative products.  
Products like Air Protect® that help shield 
your child from the most violent real world 
threats.
