A restraint harness for securing a passenger in a seat of a vehicle includes a plurality of lateral straps, a pair of shoulder straps, a pair of crotch straps, and a plurality of D-ring connectors. The plurality of lateral straps may be configured to encircle a torso of the passenger. At least two lateral straps include a flexible portion allowing the restraint harness to accommodate a variety of torso diameters. The pair of shoulder straps generally extend over left and right shoulders of the passenger from an anterior side of the restraint harness to a posterior side of the restraint harness. The pair of crotch straps generally extend from an anterior side of the restraint harness to a posterior side of the restraint harness. The plurality of D-ring connectors is generally disposed on the posterior side of the restraint harness and configured to provide four points of attachment between the posterior side of the restraint harness and the seat of the vehicle.

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.

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 restraining harness system is disclosed for securing a passenger to a vehicle seat in a passenger vehicle. The system includes a passenger restrain harness and a seat anchor. The seat anchor couples to the vehicle's tether anchor or can be adapted to couple to a seat frame to make a tether anchor, as is commonly known in the art for use with car seats for infants. Once the seat anchor is secured to the vehicle seat and the restraint harness is securely worn by the passenger, a pair of attachment straps passes through metal D-rings on the shoulders of the harness and securely attach to the seat anchor on the rear of the seat. Similarly, a second pair of attachment straps pass through D-rings on each side of the waist of the restraint harness and securely attach to the seat anchor, thus securing the passenger in the vehicle.

A system for securing a restraint system includes a retractor enclosing a spool, a sensor coupled to the spool, and a motor coupled to the spool and configured to rotate the spool about a spool rotation axis. The system also includes webbing configured to be wound and unwound from around the spool. An automatic locking retractor mode is enabled and disabled to selectively and automatically lock the retractor to prevent rotation of the spool when a predetermined length of the webbing is unwound from the spool.

An apparatus and method for assisted buckle release employing a generally C-shaped or U-shaped assistive device adapted to depress a buckle's release button, such as a button typical of a child car seat restraint harness, and thereby assist in unlocking the buckle.

Disclosed herein is an infant seat belt device. The infant seat belt device includes: a waist belt configured to completely surround the waist of an infant in a single circle; a first seat belt unit configured to be selectively coupled to and separated from one side of the waist belt in the state of having been fastened to a seat on which the infant sits; and a second seat belt unit configured to be selectively coupled to and separated from the other side of the waist belt in the state of having been fastened to the seat on which the infant sits.

A child safety device for use with a safety harness comprising first and second shoulder straps, the device comprising: an elongate belt comprising fastening means located at or adjacent each end of the belt, and in which each fastening means is arranged in use to fasten an end of the belt in a folded arrangement about a shoulder strap of the harness.

A guard that attaches to a buckle included in a safety restraint system. The guard includes a movable cover. In at least one position of the cover, the cover limits access to an external release of the buckle and prevents release of straps from the buckle.

A safety belt automatic adjustment apparatus includes a safety belt buckle fastening assembly, a safety belt retractor and a linking component. The safety belt buckle fastening assembly is rotatably connected to a seat body of a child safety seat and for connecting with a safety belt buckle. The safety belt retractor is used for retracting a safety belt, and the safety belt retractor includes a restraining assembly for restraining a movement of the safety belt in a predetermined direction. The linking component is installed between the safety belt buckle fastening assembly and the safety belt retractor, and the safety belt buckle fastening assembly rotates to drive the linking component and the restraining assembly, so as to restrain or release the safety belt winding around the safety belt retractor. The safety belt automatic adjustment apparatus has advantages of automatic adjustment for the safety belt, simple structure, convenient operation and enhanced safety.
