Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments concern a safety apparatus that is positioned adjacent to and attached to a carriage device, thereby substantially improving the safety of individuals seated in the carriage device. The safety apparatus can include a structural frame, one or more front contacts, one or more rear contacts, a support bar, one or more handles, and at least one connector. The at least one connector allows the safety apparatus to be detachably connected or fixedly attached to the carriage device. The safety apparatus may also be adjustable or collapsible, which permits its footprint to be reduced when not in use. In some embodiments, the safety apparatus includes a support bar and/or basket that allows a user to hang or place items, such as a purse or diaper bag, without causing the safety apparatus or the carriage device to become unbalanced.
