摘要

A portable support apparatus for supporting an infant's or toddler's head and/or upper torso when he is positioned in a seat having a seat back. The apparatus comprises a rigid back member and rigid left and right head support members which are hingedly connected to the left and right sides of the back member, respectively. The left and right head support members are pivotable from a folded position in which the left and right head support members are positioned against the back member to an unfolded position in which the left and right head support members project at a desired maximum open angle relative to the back member. The portable support apparatus also includes an arrangement for maintaining the left and right head support members at the desired maximum open angle when the left and right head support members are in the unfolded position. In use, the portable infant support apparatus is positioned in the seat, the left and right head support members are unfolded to the desired maximum open angle, and the infant or toddler is positioned in the seat against the back member. In this manner, the infant's or toddler's head and/or upper torso will be supported by the left and right head support members in a generally upright position.
