Since 1974, Playmobil has made over 2.7 billion little plastic people. The company started with just three figures: a knight, an American Indian, and a construction worker. Today, that number exceeds 4,000 figures and 30 different Playmobil worlds. The number of Playmobil plastic people on the planet grows by 275,000 a day, or just over a 100 million a year!

The planning of these innovations – from first ideas, exploring design concepts, testing prototypes to the finished parts in series production – passes through a standard product development process. But within that process, the designs are constantly changing based on internal and external feedback. And today, the company uses PTC’s 3D CAD software, Creo, and even 3D printing to explore more design alternatives earlier and faster than before. The Playmobil team use Creo across product development; from initial modeling of concepts through to NC machining of the plastic injection molds.

Engineering a reliable infant car seat, convertible car seat or booster seat is no minor accomplishment. Designers think about protecting the head from impact, keeping the child’s body from flying forward, meeting more stringent and ever-changing safety regulations, comfort, and even the ’ease of use’ for the caregiver who has to install the seat and buckle in the child. BRITAX child car seats are scrupulously designed to do all of this and exceed guidelines for head and body protection.

All this needs to be achieved with the added consideration that style matters in the child seat, stroller, and travel system markets.

For all these reasons, BRITAX deploys Creo to make sure that your child travels safely and in style with a whole new range of innovations in its new FRONTIER 90® and PINNACLE 90® Combination Harness-2-Booster seats.
