What we do

“It’s time to revolutionise child safety on bikes.
We want to change the safety standard
of biking with children”

 

How it all started

Cocoon Airbag Protection is a Swedish Startup founded in 2019, by parent and product designer Emma Garatea.


My idea took shape when I became a mother and was discouraged over the idea of cycling with my toddler. I got an overwhelming response from parents all over Sweden expressing their fear in traffic situations and I realized that today's products do not offer parents the safety they need. With my background as a product designer and with a special interest in safety, I decided it was time to find a solution to this problem. I have worked hard to see Cocoon become a reality and today I am the mother of two small children which makes my vision even clearer. My mission is to create the world's safest bicycle child seat so that other parents and I can cycle with our children and feel safe that they have the best possible protection in traffic.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to save lives and minimize damages during the transportation of children on the bicycle, making parents confident that their child has the best possible protection. As parents ourselves we know that children are the most precious that we have and have a clear Mission to create the world's safest children's bike seat.

Our Vision

Our Vision is that Cocoon will lead the way as a pioneer in children’s safety on bike seats, changing the safety standard and become a world leader within its sector. We dare to dream that the cities will become truly bike friendly and biking will become the principal way of transportation in the city centres. As a contribution to this vision, we want to encourage more people to bike safely with their children.

Algorithms

Infonomy is a part of Cocoon and develops biokinetic algorithms to promote a healthy living. Drawing on a deep knowledge of physics, physiology and IT, the algorithms are the result of more than seven years of R&D. The algorithms optimize energy consumption, processing capabilities and storage capacity of sensor systems.

Apart from Cocoon, Infonomy has develops products such as the Snubblometer® set out to change the game of fall prevention. Infonomy’s iCore platform delivers cloud services based on information from sensor data to a wide variety of customers.

 

What We’ve Achieved

  • We have received patent granted in EU
    and China.

  • We have built a strong team of experts with all the expertise needed to create a prototype, test and develop Cocoon ready for the market.

  • Critical functions have been established in terms of accident scenarios and injury types, with associated timescales and protection geometries. Simulations of the airbag function are made continuously.

  • PoC algorithms for these scenarios have been developed and are part of a functional prototype.

  • The airbag has been built and is tested continuously.

  • New, groundbreaking methods for testing have been developed.

  • Strategic partnerships have
    been established.
