An anchor belt is included that comprises a first anchor attached to a first end of the anchor belt, and a second anchor attached to a second end of the anchor belt. The first pocket is configured to receive at least a portion of the first anchor, and the second pocket is configured to receive at least a portion of the second anchor. A panel is pivotable between an opened position and a closed position, and the panel pivots to the closed position to tension the anchor belt to remove slack from the anchor belt.
Child restraint carrier and locking mechanism thereof
A child restraint carrier includes a seat body, a headrest and a locking mechanism. The headrest is movably installed on the seat body. The locking mechanism is for allowing or restraining a movement of the headrest relative to the seat body. A position of the headrest relative to the seat body can be adjusted easily by the locking mechanism to fit a child. Therefore, the present invention has an advantage of easy adjustment.

User-defined stimulation patterns for juvenile products
Systems and methods define a stimulation pattern for a juvenile product utilizing a mobile device that executes a mobile application that is linked to the juvenile product. The method comprises the step of recognizing, by the mobile device when executing the mobile app, the user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product. The stimulation pattern can be a vibration pattern or a motion pattern, and can be detected in a number of different ways by the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of determining control signals for the actuator(s) of the juvenile product based on the user-defined stimulation pattern that is recognized by the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of, in response to receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern, controlling the actuator(s) of the juvenile product based on the stored control signals for the user-defined stimulation pattern.
Car seat alarm system
A car seat alarm system including a weight-sensor plate assembly, a power source, a dashboard sensor, and a portable device including a speaker. The weight-sensor plate assembly is positioned and configured to detect a weight of a child in a car seat. The weight-sensor plate assembly is in communication with the dashboard sensor including a transceiver. The dashboard or visor sensor is configured to communicate that a child is present within the car seat. The dashboard sensor is in wireless communication with the portable device such as a key fob or smartphone. The dashboard sensor is configured to activate an alarm through the speaker when the portable device extends past a pre-determined proximity range from the dashboard sensor is reached and if the weight of the child is present within the car seat.
