A partition for use in vehicles having interior cabin space including at least one row of seats includes a deformable frame and at least one attachment device. The deformable frame is covered at least partially with a fabric material. The at least one attachment device attaches the deformable frame to a portion of a vehicle. Upon installation in a vehicle, the deformable frame separates a first passenger seat of the vehicle from a second passenger seat in the same row.

1. A partition for use in a vehicle having an interior cabin space including at least a pair of rows of seats, the partition comprising: (a) a deformable frame defining a perimeter, the deformable frame being at least partially covered with a fabric material;(b) a first attachment device for attaching the deformable frame to a portion of a front row of seats of the vehicle; and(c) a second attachment device for attaching the deformable frame to a portion of a rear row of seats of the vehicle;(d) wherein, upon installation in the vehicle, the deformable frame is arranged, in a front-to-rear orientation, between first and second passenger seats in the rear row. 2. The partition of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second attachment devices is configured to be attachable to a headrest of one of the rows of seats of the vehicle. 3. The partition of claim 1, wherein the deformable frame is formed of a deformable wire. 4. The partition of claim 3, wherein the fabric material fully covers the deformable frame, thereby defining a hollow interior. 5. The partition of claim 3, wherein the deformable frame is configured to be collapsible upon itself, thereby reducing the size thereof for storage. 6. The partition of claim 3, wherein ends of the deformable frame are connected together to form a loop with a crimped connector. 7. The partition of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second attachment devices is attached to the deformable frame at an attachment location adjacent the perimeter thereof. 8. The partition of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second attachment devices includes a bracket having a tongue portion extendable into a crevasse between a seat bottom and a seat back of the vehicle. 9. The partition of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second attachment devices includes a snap hook. 10. The partition of claim 1, wherein the first and second attachment devices are configured to permit tool-less installation of the deformable frame within the vehicle. 11. The partition of claim 1, wherein the deformable frame defines a first panel at least partially covered by the fabric material. 12. The partition of claim 11, further comprising a second deformable frame, wherein the second deformable frame defines a second panel at least partially covered by a fabric material, the second panel being generally aligned back-to-back with and attached to the first panel. 13. A partition for use in a vehicle having interior cabin space including at least one row of seats, the partition comprising: (a) a deformable frame defining a perimeter;(b) a base support attached to the deformable frame; and(c) a fabric material at least partially covering the deformable frame at the perimeter thereof;(d) wherein, upon installation in the vehicle, the base support is adapted to support the deformable frame in an upright position on the floor of a vehicle to separate a first passenger seat of the vehicle from a second passenger seat in the same row. 14. The partition of claim 13, wherein the deformable frame is configured to be collapsible upon itself, thereby reducing the size thereof for storage. 15. The partition of claim 13, wherein the deformable frame is formed of a deformable wire. 16. The partition of claim 15, wherein the fabric material fully covers the deformable frame, thereby defining a hollow interior. 17. A partition for use in a vehicle having interior cabin space including at least one row of seats, the partition comprising: (a) a first deformable frame defining a perimeter, the first deformable frame being at least partially covered with a fabric material;(b) a second deformable frame; and(c) at least one attachment device for attaching the first deformable frame to a portion of the vehicle;(d) wherein, upon installation in the vehicle, the first deformable frame separates a first passenger seat of the vehicle from a second passenger seat in the same row;(e) wherein the first deformable frame defines a first panel at least partially covered by the fabric material; and(f) wherein the second deformable frame defines a second panel at least partially covered by the fabric material, the second panel being generally aligned back-to-back with and attached to the first panel. 18. The partition of claim 17, wherein the at least one attachment device is configured to be attachable to a headrest of the vehicle. 19. The partition of claim 17, wherein each of the first and second deformable frames is formed of a deformable wire. 20. The partition of claim 19, wherein each of the first and second deformable frames is configured to be collapsible, thereby reducing the size thereof for storage.
