An occupant restraint system includes a plurality of occupant residences each including a restraint assembly having a latch mechanism manually movable between a latched state and an unlatched state and an electric lock mechanism movable from an unlocked state to a locked state when the latch mechanism is in the latched state. The control console includes an electronic display of the plurality of occupant residences and a user interface for actuating the electric lock mechanism between the locked state and the unlocked state. An occupancy tabulation system is constructed and arranged to send a signal to the control console indicative of occupied residences of the plurality of occupant residences for displaying an occupied condition associated with the occupied residences on the electronic display.

A system for detecting improper usage of a seatbelt of a vehicle includes a vehicle seat having a seat cushion and a seat back. A shoulder belt and a lap belt are intended to restrain an occupant sitting on the vehicle seat. The system includes a sensor module associated with the shoulder belt and the lap belt. The sensor module generates signals indicative of at least one parameter associated with the vehicle seat, the shoulder belt, and the lap belt when the occupant is sitting on the vehicle seat. The system also includes a controller that receives the signals indicative of the at least one parameter associated with the seat back, the shoulder belt, and the lap belt. The controller analyzes the received one or more signals, and determines whether the seatbelt is being used improperly by the occupant, based on the analysis.

Method for regulating travel of a golf cart or all-terrain vehicle includes determining, using an electronic controller on the golf cart or all-terrain vehicle, seatbelt usage for each occupant of the golf cart or all-terrain vehicle, and determining, using the electronic controller, whether the golf cart or all-terrain vehicle is travelling on or about to travel on a road which permits higher speed operation of golf carts and all-terrain vehicles. When it is determined that the golf cart or all-terrain vehicle is travelling on a road which permits higher speed operation of golf carts and all-terrain vehicles, travel of the golf cart or all-terrain vehicle is enabled on the road which permits higher speed operation only when all occupants are determined to be properly wearing seatbelts or the seatbelts are determined to be in buckled and/or spooled-out a set distance or within a distance range.

A seat belt buckle for engaging a latch inserted into buckle and retained in a latched mode until released by depressing a press release button. In a locked mode, with the vehicle ignition switch ON and the latch inserted into buckle, a complementary lock is activated preventing press the release button from effecting release of latch from buckle.

An occupant restraint system includes a plurality of occupant residences each including a restraint assembly having a latch mechanism manually movable between a latched state and an unlatched state and an electric lock mechanism movable from an unlocked state to a locked state when the latch mechanism is in the latched state. The control console includes an electronic display of the plurality of occupant residences and a user interface for actuating the electric lock mechanism between the locked state and the unlocked state. An occupancy tabulation system is constructed and arranged to send a signal to the control console indicative of occupied residences of the plurality of occupant residences for displaying an occupied condition associated with the occupied residences on the electronic display.

A child seat-vehicle safety system for a passenger vehicle, including at least one child seat buckle signaling device with a buckling detector for signaling the buckle status, and a portable controller device that attaches to the On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD-II) port of the vehicle, for detecting the status of the vehicle ignition system, receiving the buckle status signal, and generating an alarm signal in response to a predetermined condition of the ignition status and the buckle status signal. The system provides a method of warning a vehicle operator that a child has been left buckled in a vehicle after the vehicle's ignition system has been turned off, by generating an alarm signal when the ignition status is off and the buckle status signal is buckled beyond a predetermined grace or timeout period.

The present application discloses a child safety seat and a safety belt adjustment system thereof. The safety belt adjustment system includes: an automatic retracting device including a retracting shaft and a retractor, the retracting shaft being configured to be connected to a safety belt, the retractor driving the retracting shaft to perform a retracting rotation, so as to tension the safety belt in a buckled state; and a first locking device including a drive button and a locking member; the drive button being configured to drive the retracting shaft to perform a release rotation. The locking member has a locked position. In the locked position, the locking member locks the retracting rotation of the retracting shaft.
