  • Patent number: 6053572
    Abstract: A device for facilitating access to a car seat takes the form of a multi-laminate plastic, rotating seat device or disk having a plurality of fold lines defining a plurality of segments. The disk is placed upon the seating area of a car seat and substantially covers the entire seating area, preferably with overhang. The fold lines and segmented nature of the disk allow the disk to generally assume the contour of the car seat, when in use, and to be folded into a compact, portable size when not in use. The outer surfaces of the disk preferably have differing coefficients of friction to allow the disk to be reversible for use on different type car seat upholstery. Further, the disk is provided with an indicia to serve as a decorative cover for the car seat. The device could take the form of an oval and be provided with a crimped perimeter and hand grip cutouts.
