InventHelp Inventor Develops Specialized Car Seat for Breastfeeding (CLM-759)
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12, 2025 -- "I wanted to create a specialized car seat that enables a mother to safely breastfeed her baby in the back seat of the car," said an inventor, from Shreveport, La., "so I invented the CAR SEAT (BREAST- FED TRAVEL SEAT). My design helps keep the baby content and on their feeding schedule, and it helps prevent delays while traveling."
The patent-pending invention provides an improved way for a mother to breastfeed a child when traveling in the backseat of a vehicle. In doing so, it ensures both the child and mother are safely secured. It also eliminates the need to stop the vehicle or disrupt the baby's feeding schedule. As a result, it increases comfort and convenience. The invention features a unique design that is easy to employ so it is ideal for nursing mothers. Additionally, a prototype is available.
The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

What Is the "Car Seat (Breast-Fed Travel Seat)"?
A patent-pending invention recently announced with the title CAR SEAT (BREAST-FED TRAVEL SEAT) is designed to allow mothers to safely breastfeed their baby while both remain securely restrained in the back seat of a moving vehicle. It seeks to maintain the feeding schedule without requiring stops or disrupting the journey. The design is reportedly easy to use, increases comfort and convenience, and already exists in prototype form. It’s currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers through InventHelp.Comtex NewsMENAFN
Background: Why Was This Invented?
Feeding an infant while traveling poses significant safety risks. Babies in car seats are often semi-reclined (roughly 30–45°), a position that increases the risk of choking, aspiration, and breathing difficulties, especially in newborns who lack head and neck control. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends holding infants upright during feeding, which typically requires stopping the vehicle to nurse safely.Google Patents+1
Existing workarounds include:
-
Pump-to-baby systems, like the experimental Pump2Baby bottle, which delivers milk through tubing while the mother remains belted in. Though innovative, these use expressed breast milk and involve pumping equipment.Motherly
-
A patented nursing extension device where milk travels through flexible tubing from an adhesive breast shield to an artificial nipple near the baby—allowing both mother and child to stay safely buckled while breastfeeding in the car.Google Patents
How Does the New Device Compare?
Similarities:
-
Both the new invention and the nursing extension device aim to facilitate breastfeeding without stopping or compromising safety.
-
They prioritize keeping both mother and baby buckled and secure.
Potential Advantages of the New Invention:
-
It may offer a more integrated or comfortable solution than tubing systems.
-
Being specifically marketed for this purpose, it might be easier to deploy or more user-friendly than the existing patent.
Unknowns:
-
Technical details (e.g., how milk is delivered, how comfort and hygiene are maintained) remain unspecified.
-
Safety testing results, ease of cleaning, and practical deployment scenarios are not yet publicly shared.
