Example

[0031] A cycle of operation for the second embodiment is as follows. To put the stroller 13 in the mounting system 40, the user holds the collapsed stroller up against the rear of the seat 16. At this position, both of the flexible straps 45 are between the stroller 13 and the seat 16. The stroller 13 is held at a height corresponding to the midpoint of the flexible strap 45. Each flexible strap 45 is then wrapped around the stroller 13 to cradle it. The second fastening element 41b is then securely fastened to the first fastening element 41a. Often a stroller 13 is thicker at one end than the other. The hook and loop fastening elements can be joined in a plurality of positions, allowing the mounting system 40 to accommodate different cross section sizes of different makes of umbrella strollers. Additionally, the flexible strap 45 can be lengthened or shortened in use to accommodate a wide variety of stroller sizes. Once the stroller 13 is secured in the mounting system 40, the stro...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is entitled to the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Ser No. 60 / 563,490, filed Apr. 19, 2004.BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Field of Invention [0003] This invention relates to support or mounting devices for securing items to the rear of an automotive seat. [0004] 2. Description of Prior Art [0005] Due to its small collapsed size, the umbrella stroller is very portable and fits easily in the trunk of most motor vehicles. It is often left continuously in the vehicle, to be sure that it is available whenever one is away from the home with a child. This presents a problem in that it is small enough to stay in the car, but large enough to get in the way of groceries and other items that may need to also be transported in the vehicle. [0006] Many vehicles have an open storage space behind the last row of seats, instead of a traditional trunk. These vehicles include vans, minivans, sport utility vehicles and station wagons. The...
