Abstract
Abstract A harness for restraining the movement of an infant or small child who is seated in a chair. The seating portion of the harness is secured to the back of the chair by a strap. When the baby is placed upon the seating portion, a forwardly extending strap is brought up between the infant''s legs and looped backwards towards the back of the chair. The straps which extend laterally from the forwardly extending strap are then passed under the infant''s arms and around the infant''s mid-section and connected again at the back of the chair. Straps also extend laterally from the seating portion of the harness and these straps are secured to the side frame members of the chair to prevent lateral movement of the harness in response to the infant''s movements.
