US12780139 - Bullet-proof protective covering for a baby car seat

A method and an apparatus/assembly provides enhanced protection to a baby in a child safety car seat. A bullet-proof child seat apparatus (BCSA) having a central segment that includes a seat portion and a backrest portion with a shapeable and adjustable headrest is constructed using bullet-proof covering that includes a protective blanket. Adjacent to the central segment are shapeable first and second side segments, each having a collar portion at an upper end and a side panel portion extending downward and away from the collar portion. The BCSA protects a baby fastened in place within the central segment by an enclosing bullet-proof blanket moldable around a baby's face, an outer bullet-proof material and/or a structure/chassis having a bullet-proof composition. The covering and structure provides complete protection from side to side while side segments can be pulled inward to provide added protection from a frontal direction and particularly to the head and face of a baby whose body is protected in the front by firmly extended flaps of the blanket. The BCSA also includes an infant risk tracking and reporting (IRTR) module that provides further protection by using sensors to track and report a baby's presence and surrounding environment.

Claim 1

1 . An enhanced child safety seat apparatus, comprising: a structural central segment that includes a seat portion and a backrest portion having an adjustable headrest; shapeable first and second structural side segments adjacent to a central segment, each side segment having a collar portion at an upper end and a side panel portion extending downward and away from the collar portion, wherein one or more of the first and second structural side segments and a headrest can be selectively oriented to adjust a protective coverage area for a child; an outer bullet-proof covering that includes a free portion of a bullet-proof blanket that is moldable around a baby’s face, wherein the free portion of the bullet-proof blanket includes one or more flaps that can be firmly extended to surround a child/infant securely placed within the enhanced child safety seat apparatus; one or more sensors used to track a presence of the child within the enhanced child safety seat apparatus and an environment surrounding the child; a control module; and an infant risk tracking and reporting (IRTR) module that when executed by the control module configures the control module to: identify, using sensor data, a hazard/danger to which the child is exposed; and alert a selected individual about the identified hazard/danger. a structural central segment that includes a seat portion and a backrest portion having an adjustable headrest; shapeable first and second structural side segments adjacent to a central segment, each side segment having a collar portion at an upper end and a side panel portion extending downward and away from the collar portion, wherein one or more of the first and second structural side segments and a headrest can be selectively oriented to adjust a protective coverage area for a child; an outer bullet-proof covering that includes a free portion of a bullet-proof blanket that is moldable around a baby’s face, wherein the free portion of the bullet-proof blanket includes one or more flaps that can be firmly extended to surround a child/infant securely placed within the enhanced child safety seat apparatus; one or more sensors used to track a presence of the child within the enhanced child safety seat apparatus and an environment surrounding the child; a control module; and an infant risk tracking and reporting (IRTR) module that when executed by the control module configures the control module to: identify, using sensor data, a hazard/danger to which the child is exposed; and alert a selected individual about the identified hazard/danger. identify, using sensor data, a hazard/danger to which the child is exposed; and alert a selected individual about the identified hazard/danger.
