Abstract:
1. A seat cover for accommodating a child safety chair upon a seat having seating and seat-back portions, the seat cover comprising: a lower protective member disposable upon the seating portion of the seat and for defining a lower peripheral edge formed by a lower forward edge, a lower rear edge and a pair of opposed lower side edges interconnecting the lower forward edge and the lower rear edge, a ridge formed substantially around the lower peripheral edge for containing spills therewithin, the lower protective member being configured to accommodate the child safety chair when positioned in a rearward-facing direction for preventing the chair from permanently compressing the seating portion; and an upper protective member disposable against the seat-back portion of the seat and defining an upper peripheral edge formed by an upper top edge, an upper bottom edge and a pair of upper side edges interconnecting the upper top edge and the upper bottom edge, the upper protective member being selectively attachable to and detachable from the lower protective member so as to be configured to prevent the chair from permanently compressing the seat-back portion when the chair is repositioned in a forward-facing direction and placed in contact therewith, wherein the lower protective member includes at least one folding line extending between the lower side edges and oriented generally parallel to and disposed between the lower forward edge and the lower rear edge, the upper protective member including at least one folding line extending between the upper side edges and oriented generally parallel to and disposed between the upper top edge and the upper bottom edge, each of the folding lines being configured to allow respective ones of the lower and upper protective members to be folded so as to accommodate curvature of the seating and seat-back portions, a V shaped notch being formed in the ridge at each of the lower side edges adjacent to the folding line in the lower protective member.
