ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention resides in the field of a safety seat for infants that is floatable and therefore useful for infants in any circumstance near water.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A broad object of the invention is to provide a safety seat of the general character referred to, which is floatable in water, and which returns to an upright position in the water if it should fall into the water in any other position.
Another broad object is to provide a floatable infant safety seat that is effective for holding an infant therein, in safety condition, such as by a harness, but that is also effective for holding an infant in other circumstances not related to a water environment.
Another and more specific object is to provide such a safety seat having the following features and advantages.
1) The infant can be held in the seat in a comfortable position.
2) The seat is built of inexpensive materials, and therefore of low cost manufacture.
3) More specifically, the seat is made of foam material which is extremely light in weight, and strong, and can be specially shaped to provide the desired floatation effect.
4) Imbedded in the foam material is a core framework that facilitates shaping of the foam material and provides unusually great strength.
5) The device includes a bottom part forming a seat for holding the infant in upright position, and a canopy effective for turning the seat into upright position in the water, and providing a shade element for shading the infant.
6) The device has a specially shaped bottom surface on which it can rest on a dry surface, and be easily rocked for comforting the infant.
