  • Patent number: 4033623
    Abstract: A child's safety restraint for use in a motor vehicle includes a retaining member adapted to be held in front of a child on one of the vehicle seats and which is shaped such that in the event of a sudden deceleration of the vehicle, the chest and head of the child will come to rest against a rearmost face of the retaining member. The member has an opening defined within a lower portion thereof through which the child's legs can pass, and has a rigid part on a front face thereof and a resilient squab on the rear face thereof. The rigid part has a progressively reduced thickness as one proceeds in the vertically upward direction, while the resilient part has an increased thickness as one proceeds in the same direction. In this manner, the uppermost portion of the retaining member has an increased squab thickness portion for paticularly protecting the head portion of the child under deceleration conditions.
