TEXT:

I am planning to put on the market a cloth device containing light weight plastic items useful to a baby while in an automobile. The cloth item will be adjacent to but not touching a child sitting or laying in a nearby safety seat.

Please advise what national safety standards/regulations may apply to such a device from the viewpoint of need to be fire-safe, or any other safety considerations.
