ABSTRACT:
A combined suitcase and safety seat provides an elevated surface upon which a child can comfortably and safely sit in an automobile. While in use as a safety seat, a flexible safety strap projects from opposite ends of the suitcase and is secured between the halves of the suitcase. The strap includes a loop on both ends and is of sufficient length to ensure that each loop extends outside the suitcase. The suitcase is closed and latched and is placed upon the automobile seat between the free ends of a seat belt. Each half of the seat belt is inserted through a respective belt loop, the child is placed upon the suitcase top, which is preferably cushioned, and the seat belt is then buckled over the child's lap. To use the device as a suitcase, the safety strap is disengaged from the seat belt and the suitcase is unlatched and opened to provide storage for the safety strap and other articles.
