Abstract

A cushion for location on a vehicle seat to provide an elevated seating surface for a child, and having upstanding side walls. A recess is formed in the front edge of each side wall for receiving part of the normal vehicle seat safety belt, and that recess is increased in depth downwardly at a location spaced from the front edge of the side wall so as to resist separation of the belt from the cushion. The effective height of the cushion can be increased by locating a temporary elevating platform beneath the cushion or over its upper surface. The body of the cushion comprises a metal frame, a core of resilient material moulded around that frame, and an outer skin covering the core.
