Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of the filing date of and is a continuation-in-part of United States Utility Patent Application having a title of CHILD CAR SEAT COVER, filed on Oct. 17, 2005 and assigned Ser. No. 11 / 251,731, which is incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The technology described herein relates to child car seat covers. Specifically, the technology described herein relates to child car seat covers having a waterproof backing that can easily be removed from the car seat and cleaned.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Children frequently soil while in their car seat, i.e., spill, wet, vomit. Historically, if the car seat material on which the child rests gets wet or dirty because of soiling, one has to remove the entire car seat from the car and take the car seat apart in order to remove the car seat material to wash it. This process takes several minutes and one is left without a functional car seat until the car seat material is washed, ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0033]The general purpose of the technology described herein, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a child car seat cover that provides a measure of protection against soiling of the car seat, is easily removable from the car seat, and is washable.

[0034]In particular, the technology described herein solves the above-mentioned problem of cleaning a soiled child car seat cover. The technology described herein easily goes on over a car seat. The technology described herein has a waterproof layer and keeps the car seat material clean. The technology described herein is easily removable when it gets dirty. Because of the waterproof material layer, a user's car seat remains functional when the technology described herein is soiled and removed. The technology described herein has adjustable harness straps that grow with the child. The technology described herein functions similar to a slip cover; a user opens the hook-and-loop fastener “fingers” to slip the cover on and off.

Problems solved by technology

Children frequently soil while in their car seat, i.e., spill, wet, vomit.

Additionally, existing aftermarket car seat covers generally have at least one of the following other problems:A gap where the straps pull through, which allows food, dirt and liquid to get through and dirty the car seat material.

This poses a problem when the child soils the straps with liquids, food or vomit.Having to take off the bottom part of the cover in order to tighten the harness strap.

This poses a problem when one needs to adjust the harness straps, which is generally every time one puts a child in the seat.

These and other problems exist.

While these patents, published patent applications, and other previous methods have attempted to solve the above mentioned problems, none have addressed facilitating cleaning after soiling, protecting the straps, closing the strap gap and facilitating harness tightening.
