ABSTRACT:
A child's seat assembly securable, preferably within the seat back of the backseat of a vehicle. This invention includes a molded seal and frame which is interconnectable between the vehicle's seat back support structure. The molded seat is releasably positionable, generally within the perimeter of the frame, which is preferably tubular. The frame fits either between two seat back portions or at one end of a seat back portion when installed as original vehicle equipment. When installed as an after-market accessory, the vehicle's existing seat back must be modified to accommodate installation of the frame to the support structure of the vehicle. This assembly includes two lateral head support panels, a torso containment panel, and, preferably, a foot support panel. The two head support panels are generally vertically hinged, the hinges mounted along either upper portion of the frame, while the foot support is hinged along a lower transverse cross member of the frame. The torso containment panel is connected along opposing transverse points of the edges of the molded seat by telescoping arms. By these hinged mountings of the head support and foot support panels, and telescopic mountings of the torso containment panel, the assembly has a lockable open "in-use" position and a more compact lockably closed position. The torso containment panel may also be pivotable upward for increased ease of a baby's entrance and egress. Seat recline adjustments may be included as well as spring-loaded hinges for automatic openings of hinged panels.
