We need a infant car seat that surrounds the baby with a force field. Kickstarter anyone?

The priority here is to minimise neck movement during collision I believe. Today's child seat technology is very advanced and amounts for impacts from all angles. However they cannot control what comes flying in.
Our cars are equipped with isofix latches, a nowadays common system that's pretty much in every car made from 2000 onwards. This system is the safest to use for child seats and they are placed on the side seats. When we bought our child seat we were informed of the law of where and what direction to place the seat depending on age of child...failure to comply will result in a hefty fine or worse by police. Of course the law varies from country to country.
