This seems like a REALLY bad idea. Put your baby on the end of a spring, right in front of the windshield… bright.
Baby Bounces in Safety Chair
A SAFETY chair which combines the enjoyment of a spring ride for the baby with assurance to the mother that he will not get hurt provides a solution to the problem of baby tending for the busy housewife.
The chair is built high to support the baby’s back and is set on a strong steel spring leaf fastened to a slot in the floor. The baby’s legs straddle a hobby-horse head which prevent him from falling out of the front. Stirrups provide a natural rest for the child’s feet.
The spring of the safety chair may also be slipped into a slot in the auto floor, and it will eliminate all heavy shocks to provide baby with a smooth, comfortable ride in spite of rough and rutty roads.

Holy hell, this is an incredibly retarded idea. I realize they must have done *some* sort of testing, or else there wouldn’t be that photograph of the baby actually *in* the chair, but seriously– very little thought. Holy crap.
