Abstract:

A restraining harness to hold a child in a highchair is disclosed consisting of an elongated panel having strategically placed VELCRO hook and loop type fasteners thereupon such that the panel will encompass completely a range of highchair backs ranging in heights from 17 inches to 8 inches, the panel always arranged and attaching to itself such as to firmly engage the highchair back and present the same end emerging at the top of the highchair back. Further, only the loop-type VELCRO hook and loop type fasteners are presented to the backside of a child. A plurality of straps operably attached to the panel pass parallel over the child's shoulders to a holding strap, and then converge to a single strap passing through the child's legs and under-the-seat to rejoin the panel. A chest encircling strap is operably attached to the panel and the shoulder straps. In addition, the device may be folded to its smallest and most compact configuration to reside entirely upon the back of a child separate from the highchair whereupon a holding and walking strap may be attached to one of the rear clasps in order that an adult may hold the strap vertically to help hold the child erect when the child is learning to walk.
