Abstract: A reflective seat shield (commonly referred to as a reflective cover) for use in protecting unoccupied infant retaining devices, such as automobile auxiliary seats (e.g., infant car seats), infant carriers, baby strollers, and the like, from the sun's light and heat. The reflective cover is uniquely designed in such a way as to adaptively fit over a number of different and varying sized and shaped infant retaining devices when in use, and to be compactly folded-up flat or wadded up into a small compact unit for storage when not in use. The reflective cover includes an elastic band or the like along its periphery to retentively hold it closely fitted around and over the infant retaining device. The reflective cover, which is also easily removed from the retaining device allows an attendant to later place a child in the infant receiving seat section of the retaining device which has previously been consistently maintained at a relatively moderate temperature.

Abstract: An infant head support for use with infant retaining devices, such as automobile auxiliary seats, infant carriers, swing seats, baby strollers and the like, used for the retention of infants and early age children. The head support comprises a somewhat dense but resilient foam member which is adapted to fit within a pair of opposed side walls on the infant retaining device, e.g. a pair of forwardly extending flange portions on an infant seat. The foam member is formed with a first opening generally sized to conform to and receive the head of an infant. A second opening, which is larger than the first opening, is sized to engage the shoulders and the upper arm portions of the infant. Moreover, the dense but resilient foam member can be captured between the opposed walls on the infant retaining device so that it retains the infant's head in a fixed position.
