What style of car seat was used for infants in 1956?

There were no infant car seats in 1956 to speak of. There were attempts to make an infant seat but there were never sold in any quantities. In fact there were no seat belts in 1956 except on the Ford which installed seat belts that year for the first time. No other American manufacture installed them that year.
