Abstract:

An airline safety seat is provided having a lap bolster for use adjacent a minor, such as a child. A retractor system consisting of two tension straps are connected to a male buckle adapter so that they may be pulled at the same rate as they pass over the head of a user and then buckled between the legs of the user. The tension straps are designed so that they may be fully extended without tension pull to engage a snapping pull so that they may retract and encompass a user thereof. These tension straps are connected to inertial rollers or reels mounted inside the lap bolster. The rollers or reels are suitably mounted. A buckle system is retracted into the lap bolster by the two inertial rollers or wheels. A male adapter system is pulled over the user's head and down the back to be buckled between the legs of the user to meet a female attachment. The female attachment extends approximately one inch out of the lap bolster.
