Parents know how much of a headache bringing the baby for a drive can be.

Volvo wants to make bringing your kid along for a ride less of a chore by swapping the front passenger seat in favor of a child seat.

The company unveiled the redesigned seat in its XC90 SUV concept car on July 2 in Shanghai.

"We focused on three key benefits - making it easier to get the child into and out of the child seat from an ergonomic and comfort perspective, providing the child with a safe rearward facing seating position that enables it to keep eye-contact with either the driver or the rear passenger, and of course including enough storage for those vital child accessories, such as diapers, bottles, wipes, and so on."

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that children under the age of 2 sit in rear-facing car seats, which significantly reduce the likelihood of injury or death in case of a crash.
