The child vehicle capsule is a device that protects infants from impact injuries during unfortunate events. The child vehicle capsule comprises a shell, an impact layer, a comfort layer, and a ventilation system. The shell is an impact resistant enclosure that is absorb the impact energy. The impact layer is a structure that absorbs impact energy by permanently deforming during an unfortunate event. The comfort layer is a viscoelastic structure that: 1) absorbs a portion of the impact energy; 2) that reduces damage caused by the impact force by distributing the impact energy over a time period greater than the initial impact; and 3) that returns to its relaxed shape once the impact forces have been dissipated. The ventilation system manages airflow through the child vehicle capsule to maintain the comfort of the infant.
