Alfa Tonale Edizione Bambini Concept Comes Standard With Diaper Changing Station

Being an Alfa, aesthetics are important, so even the seat tidies have been developed with style in mind.

Finished in gray leather with matching stitching, the accessory features an embossed Alfa Romeo logo to remind the kids they're not driving in any old crossover. Protective panels are also in place to take the brunt of multiple kicks from frustrated little feet.

The Tonale Edizione Bambini also comes with a decent-sized trashcan that attaches to the rear of the center console. It can also be removed easily for cleaning. If your precious offspring trample cookies into the carpeting, a car vacuum (located in the trunk) can be pressed into duty and remove all traces of mischievous behavior.

It doesn't end there, though, as the kid-friendly Tonale also boasts an in-car baby monitor that connects to your smartphone via an app. The monitor can be positioned for rear- or front-facing child seats.

Finally, to keep the kids entertained on a long journey, the seat tidies include a classy leather pouch that can hold a tablet and the aforementioned reward chart. There are also tablet holders affixed to the back of the driver and front passenger seats, along with a centrally-mounted toy box that should keep kids occupied for hours on end.

"The Tonale Edizione Bambini provides practical solutions which fit in seamlessly with the premium interior in the Tonale - proof that having children doesn't have to mean sacrificing your car's style. With a choice of sophisticated hybrid powertrains, a striking design, and innovative technology, the Edizione Bambini is further proof that the Tonale is ideally suited to family life," said Alfa Romeo's UK Director, Julie David.

Alfa isn't the only automaker interested in making life easier for parents. Recently, VW-owned Skoda previewed a concept interior that placed the baby seat in the middle of the cabin.

Toyota's Cabin Awareness concept also aims to keep children safe, albeit in a slightly different way. Last year, more than 20 children died from heatstroke as a result of being left in a hot car. The Japanese company's cabin detection sensor uses a powerful 4D imaging radar that can even detect a heartbeat or breathing.

Getting back to the Tonale, it's unclear whether Alfa will offer these accessories as optional extras - or as part of a package - but we're guessing there are many parents out there that would love something like this. If it ever comes to fruition, we hope it makes its way over to the United States.

As a reminder, pricing for the compact Alfa starts at $42,995. In anticipation of the high demand, the Stellantis-owned company recently increased production at the Pomigliano plant in Italy.
