Abstract

I came up with the idea of the “Three-in-One Car Seat” because of the benefits and convenience for both parents and children. Now parents do not need to carry a car seat, a potty, and a booster seat when on the go. Some of the benefits of this car seat includes: keeping your child on track during potty training, safe from dangerous germs and bacteria (such as e-coli) found in public restrooms, as well as the convenience of having a potty ready for your child whenever he/she needs it, because everything needed can now be housed in one unit. It also comes in a handy for older kids too. This car seat takes a child from car seat, booster seat, potty training and beyond!
