  • Patent number: 5007569
    Abstract: A hand-portable storage container with two headrest cushions designed for use by one or two children in the backseat of an automobile or other vehicle. The preferred overall configuration of the apparatus resembles a child's play house with a two-sided inclined roof structure, to which is attached two large pillows, one on each side. The left and right sections of the roof structure are preferably hinged. This gives the children access to internal storage compartments underneath the left and right sections of the roof structure, where the children may place toys, books, crayons or other supplies to keep them occupied on longer trips in the car. The storage compartments preferably include removable dividers with pockets or pouches for storing pencils or other small objects. The pillows are headrest cushions upon which the children may comfortably nap simultaneously, even while each is safely restrained by a seat belt in the backseat of a vehicle.
