Abstract:

A collapsible sunshade shelter encloses a child safety seat. A pair of side walls each have a side shade fabric attached to a frame perimeter and a top shade fabric between the frames. The frames each comprise a flexible tension member normally in a frame configuration but adapted for collapsing by twisting and folding into concentric smaller frames. A tie pulls in the front bottom edges while stretching out the top edges of the frames. Inwardly angled back extensions of the side frames are pushed inward by the vehicle seatback to push out the top front frame edges. A top frame may be inserted between the side panels to maintain the panels apart. A front shade panel may be attached by zippers or hook and loop fasteners. Loop-type fabric around the frames receive hook patches from the front panel to hold it open in any desired position.
