US 2002/0158433 A1 · Child safety seatbelt

Abstract

A child safety seatbelt for restraining a child in a seat. The device comprises two independent straps each of which fasten at one end to the seat. The opposite ends of the straps lock together to form a continuous safety restraint over the waist of a child. An adjustment means is incorporated onto one of the straps to lengthen or shorten the seatbelt to ensure proper fit. The seatbelt further comprises textual or graphic indicia visible on the front face of the belt. The indicia may represent, for example, logos, instructions for use, or warnings. Accordingly the device may be used concurrently as a safety device and a marketing device for businesses, as for example when used on a shopping cart. Alternatively, the seatbelt may be used as a portable safety restraint device for private individual use.
