<p>The invention concerns a small child airliner seat (10, 110) which addresses comfort and safety issues. The seat has a foldable seat structure that provides a flexible, resilienily compressible backrest (12, 112) and a flexible, resiliently compressible seat (14, 114) attached pivotally relative to the backrest so as to extend forwardly from the backrest in use. The seat structure is of a size to be accommodated by an adult airliner passenger seat (34). There is also a flexible footrest (16, 116) which is attached to the seat structure so as to be capable of extending forwardly therefrom in use, as well as footrest attachment means (30, 130) by means of which the footrest can be attached relative to an airliner structure, typically a tray table (36), which is spaced from and located in front of the passenger seat. The footrest is thus slung between the seat structure and the airliner structure in an elevated position to support the feet of a child seated on the seat structure. Apart from improving the comfort of a seated child, the footrest prevents the child from sliding forward beneath the compulsory seat belt of the airliner passenger seat.</p> |
