Abstract: An protective apparatus for the legs of a child restraint seat that is used in a vehicle is described. The protective apparatus reduces the wear or damage that could result if the legs of the child restraint seat were allowed to rest directly on the upholstery of the vehicle. The apparatus has a first base with sequentially connected C-shaped arms that form a U-shape base. The first base has a channel that is formed within the C-shaped arms and a longitudinally oriented opening that allows a portion of the legs to be placed within the channel and secured by a plurality of fastening means. There is a second base having a chamber formed by a bottom wall and three sequentially connected side walls connected to the bottom wall. There is an entrance port in the second base that allows the first base to be placed within the chamber. The side walls have an overhanging lip to secure the first base within the second base.
