Dea Birkett and Tony Benn invite ET readers to take up the Safe Seat Challenge. ARE YOU sitting comfortably? If you're at an airport waiting for a flight, possibly not. You could be sitting on the floor. It was this awkward situation that led veteran politician and former Minister of Technology Tony Benn to develop the Seatcase, a suitcase that's also a seat. Now he always takes his prototype away with him. "I spend so much time travelling, I have road-tested it for years. I don't think I could do without it," he told me. There are two models. The smaller case - called the Seatpack - can be carried as a backpack but also has wheels and a stool attached to the extending handle. Benn likes to use this model when he's out and about; if the Underground's a bit crowded, he unfolds his rucksack and sits on it.
