Abstract
Abstract A safety installation for carrying children in a vehicle. The safety installation comprises a framework to be fastened to a seat of the vehicle, a net structure attached thereto and fastening belts to connect the net structure to the framework. To insure that a carrying portion of a pram or the like to be arranged within the safety installation stay safely in place in case of sudden breakings, crashes, or the like, shock absorbing elements running parallel to the net structure are attached to the framework of the safety installation, the shock absorbing elements together with the fastening belts forming a firm holder for the carrying portion of the pram.
