  • Convertible car seats, which are installed rearward facing, are often the most cumbersome restraint category, due to the fragility of infants and toddlers and their special safety requirements. Most Australian families have multiple children and with the density of modern society increasing each year, sales of compact vehicle classes have increased. Parents demand the best safety and comfort options for their child but often have to compromise on these values, choosing a restraint that’s better suited to their lifestyle instead. Until now, no Australian child restraint has offered specialised head and body protection, in a compact form.

  • Vita Pro is Australia’s most compact rearward facing restraint and the first to offer specialised head and torso protection. Unifying Maxi-Cosi’s collective knowledge in an enveloping protective form, Vita Pro is cocooning for newborns and spacious for older children. The design seamlessly integrates G-CELL™ torso protection, into blow moulded membrane apertures, the combination providing space efficient and effective organ protection. The Air Protect™ features a new compact compression formula, maximising internal head space for the comfort of older children with dual head and body inserts included to better accommodate newborns. Vita Pro is Australia’s most considered compact restraint solution.

  • Vita Pro is a socially impactful child restraint, the first in Australia to offer parents’ uncompromised compact safety and comfort, addressing the requirements of an increasing suburban density. Furthermore, over 70% of child restraints recorded, are installed incorrectly which could result in preventable fatalities. Vita Pro minimises the opportunity for human error, designed with minimal installation steps and strong visual language. Distribution of Vita Pro, resulting in the likelihood of reduced child injuries and fatalities. The detailed execution, is a consumer insight lead development using qualitative focus groups, resulting in a consumer centred commercial outcome, improving brand reputation and loyalty.
