Child Seats

  • First invented

    Though child seats were beginning to be manufactured in the early 1930s, their purpose was not the safety of children. The purpose was to act as booster seats to bring the child to a height easier for the driving parent to see them.
  • Manufacturing

    In 1933, the Bunny Bear Company created a slightly more secure car seat for the new Fords that were gaining popularity. The purpose of this seat was to raise the children to a level that they could more easily be seen by adults from the front seat and to prevent them from falling out of the seat completely.
  • Really invented

    It wasn’t until 1962 that seats were invented with the purpose of protecting a child, by Leonard Rivkin, of Denver Colorado.
  • Advances in technology

    efore the actual child seat was made, people used to but things like lawn chairs to tape against the car seat so their child could be somewhat safe.
  • Future of device

    The future of the car seat is the Eastcarseat. The Easycarseat is an inflatable seat that is suitable for kids four and up and who weigh 33 to 79 pounds.
