Disclosed is a system and method for passenger safety. A sensing unit, remote device, and/or fob may interoperate to provide various alerts and other indications representative of aspects of a context environment proximate to a sensing unit. In this manner, passenger safety may be enhanced.

A child's safety belt connection buckle with a belt buckle inserted into an inserting space in an inserting base in the horizontal direction, and locked by a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a sliding member capable of moving reciprocally along the horizontal direction, and a locking member capable of moving reciprocally in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The locking mechanism has a locking position and an unlocking position. When the locking mechanism is at the locking position, the belt buckle is pressed against the sliding member, and the locking member is buckled with the belt buckle. When the locking mechanism is at the unlocking position, the locking member is separated from the belt buckle and pressed against the sliding member.

A child restraint, in accordance with the present disclosure, includes a juvenile seat and a child-restraint harness. The child-restraint harness may be configured to move to make it easier for a caregiver to seat and unseat a child.

According to the present invention there is provided a supplemental restraint harness for cooperating with a seat belt of a vehicle, the supplemental restraint harness comprising, an upper portion which is configured to be worn on the torso of a wearer, wherein the upper portion comprises a first strap which, when the harness is worn, extends along a front of the wearer's torso, over a first shoulder of the wearer, and along a back of the wearer's torso, and a second strap which, when the harness is worn, extends along a front of the wearer's torso, over a second shoulder of the wearer, and along a back of the wearer's torso; and a lower portion, comprising a third strap which can be arranged to form a first loop which can receive a first leg of the wearer, and a fourth strap which can be arranged to form a second loop which can receive a second leg of the wearer; and wherein the upper position and lower portion are connected to one another; and wherein the harness further comprises at least one connector which is suitable for connecting to a seat belt of a vehicle. There is further provided a seat belt assembly which comprises said supplemental restraint harness.

Energy absorbing devices for use with child seat restraint webs, seat belt webs, and other webs are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an energy absorbing device includes a body having first and second apertures that receive a portion of a web, such as a web of an occupant restraint system. When a load is applied to the web, such as in a vehicle crash, the body deflects under the load from a first shape to a second shape to absorb the energy transmitted by the web.

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 automatic belt adjustment apparatus includes a fixing buckle, a belt buckle, a belt retractor, and a position switching member. The belt buckle is configured to be buckled with the fixing buckle. The belt retractor is connected to the other end of the belt. The belt retractor includes a locking assembly configured to selectively limit the belt retractor from automatically retracting the belt. The position switching member is movably disposed on at least one of the fixing buckle and the base, and configured to selectively drive the locking assembly to switch between a first position and a second position. When the position switching member drives the locking assembly to switch to the second position, the locking assembly is refrained from limiting the belt retractor from automatically retracting the belt.

A child safety harness (100) is provided, for use in conjunction with a three-point adult seatbelt (200) that has a diagonally extending chest section (202) and a horizontally extending lap section (204). The harness (100) comprises a first coupling arrangement (116) and a second coupling arrangement (126). The first coupling arrangement (116) is provided at the rear of the harness (100) for removably coupling the harness (100) to a diagonally extending chest section (202) of an adult seatbelt (200). The second coupling arrangement (126) is provided at the rear of the harness (100) for removably coupling the harness (100) to a horizontally extending lap section (204) of an adult seatbelt (200).

A seat mount, to be used with a school bus restraint vest or harness that provides a means where the passenger seated in the restraint cannot easily remove himself or herself from the seat mount without the assistance of another individual. The upper attachment of the seat mount loops-through D-rings on the passenger's vest, and then returns and attaches to the backside of the seat, out of reach of the passenger. The straps of the upper attachment may also be independently adjusted after the seat mount is attached to the passenger wearing the vest. The lower attachment at the hips includes a deterrent in which the passenger cannot easily remove the snap hook from the D-ring. This is accomplished by using a metal O-ring that is slipped over the snap hook tongue preventing it from opening. These improvements to the upper and lower attachments of the seat mount inhibit a student from getting up from a school bus seat when the child is not permitted to do so, thus providing protection for the student, driver and other passengers on the school bus.

A head support for a child car seat is disclosed. The head support includes a left pad configured to support a neck and head of the child from the left side, a right pad configured to support the neck and head of the child from the right side, a front-closure configured to removably couple the left pad to the right pad on the front, a rear-closure configured to removably couple the left pad to the right pad on the back, opposite the front closure and about the neck of the child, a car seat mount affixable to the child car-seat, and configured to couple the head support to the child car seat, and a pair of collar-straps configured to couple the left pad and the right pad to the car seat mount, respectively.
