Abstract: A padded seat cushion support consists of large, vertical side cushions having extremely full and soft padding. When installed on a chair, such as a wheelchair, the cushions grip the sides of the occupant, including both sides of the occupant's head. The vertical side cushions are affixed to a central fabric panel which is fastened to the inside chair seat back by straps and also by a pocket at the rear of the panel which receives the top of the chair seat back. The vertical side cushions are slanted inward along the central panel to a top end of the panel where they are held on either side of the patient's head, thereby comfortably supporting the patient's head against unwanted lateral deflection.

Abstract: A padded liner, primarily for use beneath an infant seated in a safety automobile seat, preferably in the form of a fanciful animal figure, comprises discretely-formed cushions joined by sewing at appropriate edges, thereby forming a substantially self-standing unit. The padded cushions or sections of the unit are shaped and adapted to provide comfort and support, to an infant seated thereagainst, in a manner not normally found in an unlined typical safety seat in a vehicle. Further, the shape of the sections enables conformity to an infant's growth pattern such that the liner contributes to the traveling comfort for the infant during the entire time period that the supporting safety seat is usable for the infant's transport. The liner has structural characteristics and features enabling it to be used to similar advantage in other forms of chairs or seats designed for use by small children.
