ABSTRACT:
A carrier for use in vehicles safely transports premature or underweight infants in a bed during normal vehicle motion by directly supporting the infant recumbent along its head, neck and back. An energy absorbtion structure between the bed and the front of a shell that contains the bed permanently deforms and dissipates kinetic energy of the infant from inertial loading by the infant during the rapid deceleration resulting from a collision or panic stop. The bed and shell likewise deform. During the deceleration the bed rotates the infant into the vertical, continuing the direct support along the head, neck and back. A seat belt catch anchors the carrier to the vehicle through a standard seat belt and provides a barrier that keeps the infant in the carrier when experiencing vertical forces. Side walls of the bed absorb and dissipate impact energy from the sides of the carrier.
