BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to seats for vehicles, and more particularly, to safety booster seats for children.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Several designs for booster seats have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a buoyant booster seat comprising a safety bag system that enables a child or infant to be housed within an impermeable flexible bag to float to a surface of water in the event of a vehicle accident

[0005] There are no similar safety booster seats to the best of applicant's knowledge, having an integrated safety bag system that activates upon submersion in a liquid, such as water, and emergency equipment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] A mechanism for enclosing a child or infant in a seat assembly comprising an impermeable flexible bag that is capable of retaining a predetermined amount of air to provide temporary, yet critical, oxygen in an emergency situation involving submersion in a body of water.

[0007] The mechanism includes a buoyant backrest assembly and a buoyant seat assembly. The buoyant seat assembly has the impermeable flexible bag and a sensor that activates when submerged in the body of water to deploy the impermeable flexible bag. The impermeable flexible bag encloses a child or infant to help prevent the child or infant from swallowing water and possibly drowning until reaching a surface of the body of water.

[0008] The buoyant seat assembly comprises armrests and buoyant cuffs that may be worn around the arms of the child or infant, serving as floatation devices. The buoyant seat assembly further comprises seatbelts having a male latch having cooperative characteristics to fit and lock into a female latch and means for illumination such as a light bulb in an electric circuit having a source of power such as a 12-volt battery. The buoyant seat assembly also comprises a net for holding toys or articles and at least one cup holder.

[0009] The buoyant backrest assembly stores emergency equipment including a flashlight, glass shattering tool, floatation devices, whistles, neon lights, and an emergency mask. The buoyant backrest assembly also comprises a belt latch having channels to adjust the belt latch. The belt latch may receive a vehicle seat belt therethrough.

[0010] It is one of the main objects of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that comprises a safety bag system.

[0011] It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that is buoyant.

[0012] It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that enables a child or infant to be housed within an impermeable flexible bag to float to a surface of water.

[0013] It is another object of this invention to provide a safety booster seat that is lightweight.

[0014] It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that is easily transportable.

[0015] It is still another object of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that comprises emergency equipment.

[0016] It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.

[0017] Further objects of the invention will be brought out in the following part of the specification, wherein detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing the invention without placing limitations thereon.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

[0019] FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the instant invention.

[0020] FIG. 2 represents a rear perspective view of the instant invention.
