Car seat for travel
– the perfect solution
Are you looking for the perfect car seat for travel? Compact, light, and portable – but safe and reliable? The HyFive by nachfolger® is the ideal solution! This innovative inflatable car seat offers many advantages, which we describe in more detail below.
Traveling with children
As the family grows, so do the questions and the to-do lists. Especially when traveling, there is a lot to consider to meet the needs of the children and have everything necessary with you. Alone or as a couple, you can spontaneously decide on a trip into the blue and be quite minimalist on the road. A family vacation, on the other hand, requires more preparation. Spare clothes, toys, diapers, diaper bag, food, travel pharmacy, etc. are just a few items on the packing list. In addition, there are also some legal requirements to observe, especially regarding the transport of children in the car.
Ultimately, the most important thing is that the children are safe on the journey and come home healthy – with many colorful memories and new impressions. For parents, it is important to travel as relaxed as possible. A lightweight car seat that is easy to transport and store is naturally helpful. That is exactly why the HyFive was developed by the Vienna-based company nachfolger®. It is not only an ideal travel car seat but also perfectly suited for daily use.
nachfolger® car seat for travel by car
If you go on vacation with your own car, you naturally have your own car seat with you. But what if you travel by bus, train, or plane and book a rental car on-site?
With rental cars, difficulties with car seats can arise again and again. The reservation was lost, so no car seat or no suitable one is available, or the seat is not freshly cleaned, or perhaps even damaged. Installation usually doesn’t work the way you’re used to from your own seat at home. At the rental company, the employees have no time to help with installation, might not even know the car seat themselves, or are not allowed to help with installation for legal reasons (accident insurance). If you book rental cars in different places, you are confronted with these challenges every time. In addition, not all countries have the same safety standards for car seats. So, you don’t always find the quality you’re used to from home while on the road.
The most pleasant thing would be to take your own seat from home. However, conventional car seats are usually very heavy and unwieldy and therefore not so well suited for travel. The HyFive from nachfolger® offers completely new perspectives here! The inflatable car seat is light and compact. It can be quickly set up, taken down, and installed in the car. In the included transport bag, which also serves as a seat protector, it can be taken anywhere. At the same time, it is extremely safe and reliable – the perfect combination of stability and flexibility! If you have a HyFive, you don’t need to buy an additional travel car seat. It is an all-rounder for your own car, for carsharing in the city, and for international travel.
nachfolger® car seat in a taxi
When traveling, you are often on the go in a taxi. Therefore, it is important to be mobile when getting in and out and to keep luggage as compact as possible. The HyFive is the ideal companion here. It weighs less than 5 kg but offers just as much or more safety than heavier conventional car seat models. It can also be quickly inflated, installed, uninstalled, and deflated. It can be compactly stowed and taken along in the included transport bag.
At home, too, people in urban areas are increasingly traveling by taxi or rental car. The strong growth of cities and the rapid development of urban mobility is leading away from owning a car and toward modern concepts. Carsharing and mobility service providers like Uber are gaining importance. More and more people are doing without their own car due to the associated ongoing costs, lack of space, and high ecological footprint.
To travel safely and comfortably in rental cars and taxis with babies and toddlers, intelligent solutions and innovative products are needed. The Austrian company nachfolger® has dedicated itself to this task. The HyFive is perfect for quickly changing vehicles, booking a rental car, or calling a taxi. It is light, easy to transport, and therefore perfectly adapted to the new way of moving in urban life.
nachfolger® car seat for travel by plane
Transporting a child in a car without a car seat is unimaginable today. In an airplane, however, it is still common. Car seats are the exception here. Children under 2 years old usually sit on their parents’ lap. They are buckled in with an additional belt attached to the adult’s belt. However, this is not really safe, as it can lead to serious injuries in the event of very strong turbulence or an emergency landing. Although the belt prevents the child from being thrown through the plane, the child can suffer internal injuries from the belt or be crushed against the front seat by the adult falling forward. Their own car seat would be much safer – just like in a car. Children over 2 years old must have their own seat, but a car seat for the plane is not mandatory. It would, however, offer more safety, as airplane seats are designed for adults.
Most child car seats are very heavy, so people often prefer not to take them on the plane. The HyFive provides a remedy here! It weighs less than 5 kg and can be taken along very easily and compactly in the practical transport bag. Of course, it also has TĂśV for use in aircraft (using the nachfolger® travel kit). You are only allowed to use a car seat on board with the “For use in aircraft” seal. The automatic pump is also flight approved. So the seat can be brought on board folded compactly, inflated in the plane, and deflated and folded up again after landing. This makes your flight much safer and more relaxed! The HyFive is the perfect car seat for the plane.
The HyFive car seat from nachfolger® in detail
The Vienna-based company nachfolger® has succeeded in developing a unique car seat that meets the requirements of modern life for safety and flexibility. The guiding principle of nachfolger® is to optimize existing concepts with new technologies. In doing so, we pay particular attention to sustainability, the reduction of the carbon footprint, and high-quality, pollutant-free materials.
The inflatable HyFive car seat can be used flexibly – in carsharing in urban living spaces as well as on travels worldwide. In addition, it is suitable for babies as well as for children up to 5 years old, so it can accompany your family continuously for 5 years. Thus, the HyFive perfectly fulfills today’s demands for mobility and sustainability.
Everything you need to use the car seat is already included in the scope of delivery. The transport bag serves as a protector for the car seat to protect car seat covers made of sensitive materials. With the automatic pump, the seat can be inflated effortlessly. The pump can be charged via USB connection. An LED display shows the air status in the seat, so you always know when air needs to be topped up.
Safe and compact
The HyFive is a rear-facing car seat, which means you place it against the direction of travel, as this is the safest position. It is buckled in with the vehicle belt and then individually adjusted to your child. You can adjust the height of the neck support and the shoulder strap. For babies up to 3 months, there is also a special newborn insert.
Packing it up works just as effortlessly as the installation. With the quick-release button on the bottom of the seat, the air escapes very quickly. The deflated seat can be folded up and stowed in the transport bag. In addition, the seat covers are quickly removable and washable. They are made of pollutant-free materials – because the safety and health of the next generation are extremely important to us.
