A vehicle seat liner is used to allow manual extrication of an injured driver from the vehicle seat. The liner is formed of two rigid board elements disposed against those portions of said vehicle seat normally contacted by the back and buttocks of the operator when seated. The board elements are pivotally joined to each other adjacent the juncture of the aforesaid portions of the vehicle seat. This permits the driver to sit on the liner when in the seated position in the vehicle seat and to lie upon the liner when the board elements are pivoted relative to each other to form a substantially planar configuration. The liner also has handles, hand grips, straps, or the like, that can be grasped by rescue personnel reaching into the interior of the vehicle to extricate the driver. This permits rescuers to lift the liner and the driver from the vehicle seat and out of the vehicle while stabilizing of the head and spinal cord of the driver.

A safety restraint system having a body component including a head opening for insertion over the head of a child and a belt which buckles around the lower rib cage of the child to secure the safety restraint system on the child. The safety restraint system can thus be secured to the child prior to the child entering the vehicle. A first strap member is secured to a lower portion of the body component. This first strap is wrapped over a vehicle lap belt until an engaging member having fabric hook elements engages fabric loop elements on a receiving member affixed to the body component. A second strap is affixed to the body component just below the head opening. This strap is folded downward over the vehicle shoulder belt until fabric hook elements engage fabric loop elements on the reverse side of the engaging member on the first strap. The second strap positions the shoulder belt away from the head and neck of the child. This provides a safer restraint as well as a more comfortable situation for the child.
