ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a safety or restraining harness and more particularly to a sack type garment designed to restrain a child in a high chair, stroller or jumper chair.
The garment consists of a single elongated strip of flexible material with elastic pieces joining the front and back on each side forming a pouch with partially open sides to slip over the back of a chair. The front of pouch extends downwardly and is brought up between the child's legs forming a crotch, then extends upwardly forming the bib section of the sack where two releasably attached straps pass over the child's shoulders to their anchoring points in the front of the pouch. A crotch strap then extends forwardly between the child's legs, loops around the chair seat, and upwardly to a quick release device at the lower extremity of the back pouch section securing the pouch to the chair.
The primary purpose of the invention is to provide a means of restraint for a child that is simply applied in which the torso is kept immobile preventing the child from sliding downwardly, climbing upwardly, or falling forward and still providing free movement of the arms and legs. The unit is multi-functional in that it is adaptable to many various sizes of child containing devices found in the home. The unit's design allows quick removal of the child in emergency situations.
