Integrated cargo and headrest cover
An integrated cargo and headrest cover includes a headrest cover that conforms to a vehicle headrest and an elongated strap extending downwardly from the headrest cover, the elongated strap being configured to secure cargo to the vehicle seat. The system reduces shifting of cargo while driving, providing protection for the cargo and reducing driving hazards. The strap includes a plurality of couplers positioned in offset relation for releasably securing the strap to the cargo and for adjusting the strap. A cargo cover may be connected to the strap to conceal and provide additional protection for the cargo.

a plurality of couplers positioned in offset relation along the elongated strap, the plurality of couplers including a first coupler and a second coupler, wherein the elongated strap is releasably securable to itself via the first coupler and the second coupler to form a loop; and
a cargo cover connected to the elongated strap above the loop, the cargo cover shaped and dimensioned to cover the loop and the cargo.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the elongated strap has an exterior surface, and the first coupler and the second coupler are positioned such that when the first coupler is secured to the second coupler both of the first coupler and the second coupler are oriented away from the exterior surface.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cargo cover includes an aperture located substantially in a center of the cargo cover; and the cargo cover is connected to the elongated strap by passing the elongated strap through the aperture.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the cargo cover includes a grommet substantially surrounding the aperture.
5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the cargo cover includes a cover fastener extending from an outer edge of the cargo cover to the aperture.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cargo cover is slidingly positionable along a length of the elongated strap.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the elongated strap is removably connected to the headrest cover.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the elongated strap is removably connected to the headrest cover by a fastener located on an interior of the front surface of the headrest cover.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the elongated strap is unitarily formed with the headrest cover.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the elongated strap and the headrest cover are formed of an elastic material.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein a lower end of the headrest cover includes a conformable portion.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cargo cover is substantially opaque to ultraviolet light.
13. A headrest cover and cargo securing system for cooperation with a vehicle headrest and a cargo, the system comprising:
a headrest cover structurally configured to conform to the vehicle headrest, the headrest cover having a front surface and a rear surface;
an elongated strap extending downwardly from the front surface of the headrest cover; and
a plurality of couplers positioned in offset relation along the elongated strap, the plurality of couplers including a first coupler and a second coupler, wherein the elongated strap is releasably securable to itself via the first coupler and the second coupler to form a loop; and
wherein the elongated strap has an exterior surface, and the first coupler and the second coupler are positioned such that when the first coupler is secured to the second coupler both of the first coupler and the second coupler are oriented away from the exterior surface.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the elongated strap is unitarily formed with the headrest cover.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the elongated strap is removably connected to the headrest cover.
16. A method of securing and covering a cargo in a vehicle having a vehicle headrest and a seat, the method comprising:
providing a headrest cover and cargo securing system including:
a headrest cover structurally configured to conform to the vehicle headrest, the headrest cover having a front surface and a rear surface;
an elongated strap extending downwardly from the front surface of the headrest cover;
a plurality of couplers positioned in offset relation along the elongated strap, the plurality of couplers including a first coupler and a second coupler, wherein the elongated strap is releasably securable to itself via the first coupler and the second coupler to form a loop; and
a cargo cover connected to the elongated strap above the loop, the cargo cover shaped and dimensioned to cover the loop and the cargo;
covering the vehicle headrest with the headrest cover with the elongated strap extending downwardly from the headrest cover along the seat;
placing the cargo on the seat;
positioning the elongated strap to secure the cargo;
securing the elongated strap to itself via the first coupler and the second coupler to form a loop connected to the cargo; and
positioning the cargo cover to cover the loop and the cargo.
17. The method of claim 16 , further including:
positioning at least one of the first coupler and the second coupler to adjust a size of the loop.
18. The method of claim 16 , further including:
slidingly positioning the cargo cover along a length of the elongated strap.
19. The method of claim 16 , further including:
connecting the elongated strap to the headrest cover.
