ABSTRACT:
A safety seat including a crash resistent barrier to protect a small child on the lap of an adult in the event of an airplane crash. A frame including a back and a pair of sidewalls receives the bucket seat that holds the child. The frame is formed from a continuous piece of aircraft tubing bent in such a way as to form an outer oval portion and a V-shaped inner portion that provides springy resilience to the frame. A two-part crash barrier is positionable over the front of the child so that the force of an adult lurching forward will not crush the child. Seat belt receiving hooks keep the safety seat and the child securely in place on the lap of the passenger. A pair of U-shaped inflatable rings attachable around the frame keep the seat floating in an upright position if the airplane ditches over water. The two-part crash resistent barrier can be folded backwardly and locked in position so that the seat will assume one of two given angles if it is desired to use the device in an automobile. At one angle the seat faces rearwardly for infants and at the other angle the seat faces frontward for older children. A convertible cart can be attached to the seat so that a parent can wheel the child through an airport. The handle of the cart may be turned downwardly so that the cart can also be used as a backpack.
