ABSTRACT:
An inflatable safety cushion for a child constructed of a one-piece inflatable structure having an upper portion with a centrally disposed aperture for placement about a child's neck, a middle section positionable over the chest of the child, and a lower section which accommodates a portion of each thigh of the child. A blood pressure bulb type manual pump is used for inflating the structure. When the device is placed around the neck of a child and properly inflated in conjunction with a seat restraining harness, the device operates in protecting the child's head, neck and chest from injury by maintaining the head and neck in a substantially vertical position and providing the cushioning effect to the upper torso and thigh area should impact occur. The device allows for the customization of various restraining mechanisms such as swings, car seats, airplane seats, and amusement park rides to accommodate the size of the child.
