Founder Jeff Meers stepped onto the carpet in Season 10, Episode 12 in the episode that aired 2 December 2012. Carkoon, the baby car seat with air shields, pitched in the Other category, one of 902 other businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

The ask was £100,000 for 20% of the company, an implied valuation of £500K.

No deal. Every dragon declined, and Carkoon walked. But a Dragons’ Den appearance reaches millions of viewers whether or not a check gets written, and plenty of no-deal companies have turned that airtime into lasting businesses.

Season 10 saw 100 pitches, and 21 of them closed a deal on air. In the Other category overall, roughly 11% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
