  • Patent number: 5150945
    Abstract: A vehicular safety seat for a child may be exposed to the sun to such an extent that certain portions will be hot enough to burn a child. A removeable cover is provided that covers all areas of the seat when unoccupied. Because the cover must be applied and removed while holding the child, special structure is provided so that these tasks may be performed with one hand. A combined storage pouch/pillow is attached to the upper or backrest portion of the cover. While the upper portion of the cover remains attached to the safety seat, the balance of the cover may be removed from the seat and stuffed into the pouch with one hand to form a soft pillow for the child's head. The position of the pouch may be adjusted on the cover to accomodate the child's growth. The balance of the cover may be removed from the pouch and applied to completely cover the child seat with one hand.
