Abstract: A vehicle passenger safety seat for handicapped persons is designed for positioning and detachably mounting over the existing conventional seat on a bus, van, or other such vehicle. The supporting frame of the safety seat is constructed from a perforated sheet of aluminum material bent into a configuration having a seat and vertical back. A pair of retractable straps are attached to the upper portion of the seat back, which straps are lapped over the top of and downwardly behind the vehicles seat where the straps are latched to the floor of the vehicle to prevent forward tilting of the safety seat. A second retractable strap is attached to the rear of the foot rest and extends under the vehicle seat to the floor latch. Overlying the tubular aluminum frame is a cushioned seat. Arm rests attached to the frame are pivotally mounted for ease in placing the handicapped person into the seat.
