Chinese outlet PCauto has published a detailed long-distance test of the Two Rabbits Zhiqiu 3 AI Pro, an AI-equipped child safety seat, based on a 900 km round trip on Chinese highways. The review focuses on whether the seat's smart features justify its price for families who regularly travel with young children.
The seat's headline feature is a child-specific AI large language model that responds to natural speech rather than fixed commands. In the test, the child said "Rabbit, rabbit, I'm a bit hot" and the seat replied "OK, ventilation on" before activating the airflow. The system can also tell stories and, with a subscription, replicate parents' voices for bedtime tales. PCauto notes that this conversational ability distinguishes true AI from simple voice-command systems.
Remote pre-ventilation, controlled through a smartphone app, proved useful on a hot September morning, cooling the cabin before the family got in. The seat's welcome mode, activated via app subscription, rotates the seat toward the door when opened, letting the driver place the child inside without bending down - a feature the reviewer said saved strain on his pregnant wife's back during the day's many stops.
Automatic comfort and safety monitoring
The seat automatically switches between heating and ventilation based on cabin temperature, activating heating below 18°C and ventilation above 25°C. Its dual-zone airflow draws heat away from the child's back without blowing directly. A 170-degree recline angle, adjustable across four positions from 155 to 170 degrees, supports sleeping children, while a C-shaped shell is designed to prevent forward lurching during hard braking.
The anti-forgotten alarm uses a wireless connection without distance limits, unlike common Bluetooth systems that disconnect after about 15 meters. When the reviewer's wife left the car at a gas station, the seat triggered a triple alert: a red light, an app notification, and a phone call from customer service. The seat's status light changes colour - red for alarm, blue for ventilation, orange for heating, white for normal - allowing a quick visual check.
The seat carries both German E1 i-Size certification and China's new national 3C certification. PCauto reports that German E1 audits are among the strictest, with random annual inspections and a domestic pass rate of under 1 percent. A patented dynamic side-impact protection system activates automatically when the child sits down, addressing the fact that side collisions account for about 30 percent of traffic accidents and carry twice the fatality risk of frontal impacts. The seat is certified for children from 40 to 150 cm tall, covering ages 0-8, with the manufacturer claiming it can be used up to age 12.
Long-distance verdict
The reviewer concluded that while a child seat is required by law, the real question is whether a child will tolerate sitting in it. His previous seat prompted crying within 20 minutes, forcing two service-area stops per journey. On the 900 km trip, the child slept twice, listened to three stories, and said goodnight to the seat. The review frames comfort not as a vague concept but as the sum of specific features: remote pre-ventilation, door-facing welcome mode, AI temperature control, dual-zone airflow, and the 170-degree recline.
