Sunshade for infants for attachment to a car seat

An infant seat and sunshade comprising:

• an infant seat having right and left sides and an upper edge, said infant seat including a back formed with an outwardly directed flange at the upper edge thereof;
• a generally rectangular fabric shade having a front which is cantilevered over the infant seat, two sides, a back, and a back edge which extend around the outwardly directed flange of the back of said infant seat;
• a generally U-shaped support bar having two arms extending from a base, said support bar being held at its base to said fabric shade near the front thereof, both arms of said bar being held near the sides of the fabric shade and the ends of the support bar extending only slightly past the sides of the shade along the back, said support bar being made from a stiff but bendable material, said bar being shaped to require that its arms be moved outwardly to be placed over the infant seat to which it is applied so that said bar frictionally engages the right and left sides of the infant seat;
• an elastic cord affixed to said fabric shade along the back thereof, at the back edge and extending from the back along each of the sides and terminating at a midpoint of each side of said fabric shade, said U-shaped support bar being inward with respect to said elastic cord whereby the support bar is urged inwardly to provide pivot points with the right and left sides of the infant seats at each edge thereof at a point downward from the upper edge of the infant seat, and the elastic cord pulls the back edge inwardly over the outwardly directed flange and against the back of the infant seat, and the front edge of the support bar is held up by tension in the fabric between the top of the infant seat and the front of the support bar and by the frictional engagement of the U-shaped support bar at the pivot points.
