“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Walzer G0+/1 Rotate Out Car Seat
The WALZER infant car seat, designed for children up to 4 years old (approximately 18 kg), addresses the significant responsibility parents face when transferring their baby in and out of a car. Its main feature is a unique 3-axis swivel arm structure on the base, which allows the seat to rotate and re-orient without requiring parents to enter the car. This innovative design offers the option to slide the seat outward in an arc towards the car door, accommodating various door opening angles and user positions.
The swivel arm structure ensures the seat remains stable while enabling parents to position the seat closer to the car’s exterior. This reduces the need for bending over, preventing collisions between parents, infants, and the car, and minimising the risk of injuries during the process. The WALZER infant car seat not only prioritises the infant’s safety but also significantly improves ease of use for parents, making it a standout design in the market of infant car seats.
