Abstract
A disposable child safety seat pad is formed of a liquid permeable outer layer, an absorbent core and a liquid impervious base layer. The pad is configured to cover the exposed child contact areas of a safety seat and is releasably secured to the seat by adhesive strips positioned on the base layer. Perforation lines are provided on a seat back portion of the pad and on a seat bottom portion of the pad. The perforations are opened to provide apertures for connecting safety harness webbing to safety seat anchor points.

A disposable absorbent pad for a child safety seat, the pad being dimensioned to overlie the bottom and back of the child safety seat, the pad comprising a liquid permeable outer layer, a core of liquid absorbent material and a base layer of liquid impermeable material, the pad having a seat bottom portion adapted to overlie the bottom of the child safety seat, a seat back portion adapted to overlie the back of the child safety seat and a fastener for releasably securing the disposable absorbent pad to the child safety seat, the pad also comprising back perforations extending through the seat back portion of the pad and bottom perforations extending through the seat bottom portion of the pad, the pad being constructed so that at least one back perforation connects to at least one bottom perforation, the bottom and back perforations being configured to be selectively separable so as to form a plurality of apertures through the back or bottom portion of the pad or to form at least one aperture through both the back and bottom portions of the pad, each aperture allowing for safety harness webbing to pass therethrough.
A disposable absorbent pad for a child safety seat, the pad being dimensioned to overlie the bottom and back of the child safety seat, the pad comprising a liquid permeable outer layer, a core of liquid absorbent material and a base layer of liquid impermeable material, the pad having a seat bottom portion adapted to overlie the bottom of the child safety seat, a seat back portion adapted to overlie the back of the child safety seat and a fastener for releasably securing the pad to the child safety seat, the pad further including a pair of parallel lines of back perforations extending through the seat back portion and bottom perforations extending through the seat bottom portion, the pad being constructed so that each of the pair of parallel lines of back perforations connects to at least one bottom perforation, the bottom and back perforations being configured to be selectively separable so as to form a plurality of apertures through either the seat back portion or the seat bottom portion or to form at least one aperture through both the seat back portion and the seat bottom portion, each aperture allowing for safety harness webbing to pass therethrough.
A method of containing liquid spills or diaper leakage on a child safety seat having a bottom and a back, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a disposable absorbent pad comprising a liquid permeable outer layer, a core of liquid absorbent material and a base layer of liquid impermeable material, the pad having a seat bottom portion adapted to overlie the bottom of the child safety seat and a seat back portion adapted to overlie the back of the child safety seat, the pad also comprising back perforations extending through the seat back portion of the bad and bottom perforations extending through the seat bottom portion of the pad, the pad being constructed so that at least one back perforation connects to at least one bottom perforation,
- b) placing the pad over the bottom and the back of the child safety seat,
- c) separating at least one of the bottom perforations and at least one of the back perforations to form at least one aperture through both the back and bottom portions of the pad,
- d) passing safety harness webbing through the at least one aperture, and
- e) releasably fastening the pad to the child safety seat.
