Abstract:

A restraint for a child car safety seat provides added assurance that a child, namely an active mobile toddler, is comfortably and securely maintained in the seat. The restraint slidably attaches to the shoulder straps of a conventional car seat, and is secured about the shoulders of the child keeping the shoulder straps in position above the shoulders. By maintaining the shoulder straps above the shoulders, the child is incapable of maneuvering or contorting, and escaping the car seat. The reduces the possibility of injuries to the child due to sudden stops, for example. The restraint also gives the driver of the vehicle the calm assurance that there will be no sudden surprises when the toddler appears in the rear view mirror.
