A child safety seat may include a motion sensor, e.g., an accelerometer, and a pressure sensor, e.g., a air pressure sensor. The motion sensor is configured to detect a motion state of a vehicle where the child safety seat is installed, e.g., whether the vehicle is moving or non-moving. The pressure sensor is configured to detect a motion state of a door of the vehicle, e.g., a door open/close motion. Based on the information detected by the motion sensor and the pressure sensor, a controller determines whether an awareness scenario occurs.

A vehicle seat device includes: a base member provided in a seat cushion or a seat back; a movable member rotatably connected to the base member; and stopper parts disposed to abut against each other on the base and movable members. The movable member rotates from a storage position and the rotation of the movable member is restricted at a deployment position so that a seat mode is changed. The vehicle seat device further includes an air bag interposed between the base and movable members and presses the base and movable members to rotate the movable member; and a clutch mechanism interposed between the base and movable members, allowing the rotation of the movable member in a deployment direction, and restricting the rotation of the movable member in a storage direction.

Systems and methods for a reconfigurable soft robotics-based vehicle interior is provided. The soft-robotics based vehicle interior comprises a child seat portion disposed in a vehicle seat, the child seat portion comprising a child seat constructed of highly compliant materials and mechanisms. When required, the highly compliant materials and mechanisms may be manipulated such that the child seat portion is moved from a retracted state to an engaged state. The child seat may also manipulate the highly complaint materials and mechanisms based on an anatomy of a child to provide customizable support for the child.

In a vehicle seat that can switch the state of a seat main body which includes a seat back and a seat cushion between a seatable state in which the seat back is erected to a car body floor to allow a seated occupant on the seat cushion and a storage state in which the seat back tilts down to the car body floor and the seat cushion is disposed between the seat back and the car body floor, the vehicle seat is provided with a guide part that contacts the lower portion of the seat cushion and supports the seat cushion when the seat state is in the seatable state, that slidably contacts a part of the seat main body in the transition of the state to the storage state, and that thus guides the movement of the seat back and the seat cushion.

An automobile headrest includes a mounting component, a pillow portion detachably connected with the mounting component, a movable block provided with engaging protrusions arranged vertically, a side of the pillow portion adjacent to the mounting component is provided with a groove, at least part of the movable block is movably arranged in the groove, an end of the movable block disposed with the engaging protrusions is exposed from a groove opening of the groove, the pillow portion is provided with a vertically oriented slideway adjacent to the groove opening, the mounting component is provided with a sliding block matched with the slideway, the sliding block is provided with an engagement portion matched with the engaging protrusions, the sliding block is arranged in the slideway, the engaging protrusions are protruded from the groove opening and partially arranged in the engagement portion, when the pillow portion is connected with the mounting component.

A child restraint base adapted for a child restraint carrier includes a base body for mounting the child restraint carrier, a first panel component, a second panel component, an anchor belt and a third panel component. The first panel component and the second panel component are disposed on the base body and spaced from each other. A first through slot is formed between the first panel component and the base body. A second through slot is formed between the second panel component and the base body. The anchor belt passes through the first through slot and the second through slot and is slidable between an in-use position and a stored position. The third panel component is disposed between the first panel component and the second panel component and pivotable between an opened position and a closed position for tensioning the anchor belt to remove slack from the anchor belt.

An insert for repositioning at least one of the harness straps of a child safety seat in order to accommodate an occupant smaller than the harness is configured to accommodate, wherein the insert is adapted to locate between the child safety seat and the occupant and includes a pair of waist strap guides, each waist strap guide configured to allow a waist strap of the harness to extend through and exit the waist strap guide at a position narrower than where the waist strap exits the child safety seat.

A bench seat assembly that includes a first seat that includes a seat portion and a back, a second seat that includes a seat portion and a back, and a center portion positioned between the first and second seats. The first seat is bifurcated by a first vertical plane, the second seat is bifurcated by a second vertical plane, and the center portion is bifurcated by a center vertical plane. The first seat is angled outwardly such that the first plane defines a first acute angle with the center plane and the second seat is angled outwardly such that the second plane defines a second acute angle with the center plane. The first acute angle and the second acute angle are approximately the same.
