A child safety seat includes a seat shell, an extension member connected with the seat shell, and a front and a rear foot respectively connected with the seat shell and movably linked to the extension member. The seat shell has a bottom surface capable of resting on a vehicle seat. The extension member is movable between a first position where a forward end of the extension member extends forward from the front end of the seat shell, and a second position where the extension member is retracted toward the seat shell. The front foot and the rear foot are movable relative to the seat shell to adjust the seat shell between a first and a second angular position, the seat shell being in the first and second angular position when the extension member is respectively in the first and second position.

An actuating device for releasing a locked release and/or adjustment mechanism of a vehicle seat having a first and a second actuating element. Provision is made that the first and second actuating elements and an indicator element are arranged together in a housing of the actuating device. The actuating elements are connected to at least one actuating mechanism that provides for a release of the locked release and/or adjustment mechanism upon actuation of one of the actuating elements. The actuation of one of the actuating elements substantially simultaneously results in an actuation and indication of the indicator element concerning the released or locked state of the release and/or adjustment mechanism.

A motor vehicle seat (1) includes a rear foot (2), a backrest (3), pivotable relative to the rear foot (2) about a backrest rotational axis (A), and a longitudinally adjusting seat rail pair (4). A seat rail locking device (6) locks the seat rail pair (4). A lockable fitting allows the backrest (3) to pivot into an easy-entry position for rear access. An annular drive element (18) is rotatably mounted about the backrest rotational axis (A). The drive element has a latch (24) that is caught by a driver (26), arranged on the backrest (3), when the backrest (3) is pivoted into the easy-entry position, whereby the backrest can subsequently be carried along. An actuation lever (22) acts on the latch (24) such that the latch (24) is not caught by the driver (26) when the backrest (3) is pivoted, and the backrest can be pivoted beyond the easy-entry position.

An increase in the lateral dimension of a vehicle seat equipped with a tip up lock cancel mechanism is prevented. In a vehicle seat equipped with a tip up mechanism for retaining the seat cushion at least in a tip up position and a tip up lock cancel mechanism for releasing the seat cushion from a retained condition effected by the tip up mechanism in response to a forward tilting movement of the seat back, the tip up lock cancel mechanism includes a cable encasing member having one end fixed to the seat cushion and another end fixed to a back side frame via a fixing part, and a cable slidably received in the cable encasing member and having one end connected to the tip up mechanism and another end connected to a seat base, the fixing part for fixing the cable encasing member to the back side frame being located on an inner side of the back side frame.

An actuation device (100), for a vehicle seat, has at least one locking mechanism (23). The actuation device (100) has an actuation handle (152), which is mounted on a housing (110), for unlocking the at least one locking mechanism (23). A connection device (200) couples the actuation device (100) to the at least one locking mechanism (23). The actuation handle (152) can be actuated in two different directions and the at least one locking mechanism (23) can be unlocked by actuating the actuation handle (152) in one direction and by actuating the actuation handle (152) in the other direction. As a result, an operating direction of the actuation handle (152) that is oriented in the movement direction of the vehicle seat is available for each movement direction of the vehicle seat. A vehicle seat (1) is also provided having at least one locking mechanism (23) and an actuation device (100).

A child safety seat includes a seat shell, an extension member and a foot. The seat shell has a bottom surface capable of resting stably on a vehicle seat. The extension member is connected with the seat shell, and is configurable between a first position where a forward end of the extension member extends forward from a front end of the seat shell, and a second position where the extension member is retracted toward the seat shell. The foot is connected with the seat shell and is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the seat shell, the foot being movably linked to the extension member. The foot and the seat shell are movable relative to each other to adjust the seat shell between at least a first and a second angular position, the second angular position being reclined rearward relative to the first angular position.

A child safety seat includes a seat shell, an extension member connected with the seat shell, and a front and a rear foot respectively connected with the seat shell and movably linked to the extension member. The seat shell has a bottom surface capable of resting on a vehicle seat. The extension member is movable between a first position where a forward end of the extension member extends forward from the front end of the seat shell, and a second position where the extension member is retracted toward the seat shell. The front foot and the rear foot are movable relative to the seat shell to adjust the seat shell between a first and a second angular position, the seat shell being in the first and second angular position when the extension member is respectively in the first and second position.

A child safety seat includes a seat shell and an extension member. The seat shell has a seat portion and a backrest, the seat portion having a front end opposite to the backrest. The extension member is pivotally connected with the seat shell, and is rotatable relative to the seat shell between a retracted position where the extension member is stowed in the seat shell and a deployed position where the extension member deploys forward beyond the front end of the seat shell to expand a leg room at a front of the child safety seat.
