A barrier system for a row of vehicle seats, which when installed on a middle seat (110, fig 1) separates adjacent seats 120,130 either side in the row, has a base portion 20 which engages with a seat pan (112, fig 1) of the seat to support the system. An upper surface of the base portion 20 includes a Y-shaped channel 21 within which side portions 11,12 of the barrier are received so that it becomes narrower towards the front with a vertically extending front ridge. An upper support member 30 supports the portions 11, 12 and prevents objects from being dropped inside the barrier system. The system can engage the seat with mechanical touch fasteners (e.g. hook and loop, pop studs) or straps around the armrests, and may replace the cushion. The system can be used in aircraft, buses, trains or ferries.
