  • Patent number: 7967387
    Abstract: An Accessory Footrest Attachment is disclosed. The footrest attachment is designed to give children and others having legs that are shorter than normal adult legs a rest for their feet. The attachment has at least two configurations—one for installation on a conventional vehicle seat and one for installation on a typical residential chair. In either configuration, the footrest attachment preferably has a flip-up footplate so that the device can be made compact for storage when not in use. Furthermore, the attachment includes an associated stabilizing mat that is designed to be captured between the seated user and the seat, and that would keep the footrest attachment in an upright and stable condition. The footrest attachment and associated stabilizing mat is height-adjustable to account for variance in user and chair sizes.
