An adjustment mechanism of nursery equipment includes a string connecting a fixed portion and a movable portion, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the movable portion by winding up and feeding out the string, a biasing member that biases the reel in such a way that the reel rotates in a winding direction of the string, and a lock member that prohibits rotation of the reel. A biasing force of the biasing member is selected to be smaller than a biasing force with which the movable portion tends to move downward in the vertical direction.

A child carrier restraint that allows the upper ends of the shoulder straps to be adjustably positioned to properly secure children having varying torso lengths within the child carrier. The child restraint includes a traditional five point belt harness and pair of shoulder belt location adjusters, which allows the shoulder strap to be selectively positioned over and behind the child regardless of the length of the child's torso. The shoulder location adjusters are mounted to the back of the child carrier and includes a strap loop trained about a locking slide and a bottom strap loop anchor. The end of the shoulder strap is sewn directly to the strap loop. The locking slide can be manually disengaged to allow the strap loop to slide freely, thereby selectively positioning the end of the shoulder strap along the back of the child carrier.

An accessory mount for use with a child safety seat having a base including a rotating mechanism for detachably connecting a seat shell for a child. The base enables rotation of the seat shell into forward-facing, rearward-facing, or side-facing configurations. The base also includes an upstanding backrest portion and is anchorable in the vehicle. The backrest portion includes a reinforcement structure disposed in an upper end that is engageable to a portion of the seat shell when the seat is forward-facing to reinforce the seat shell anchorage. The accessory mount includes an attachment base adapted to matingly engage a portion of the upstanding backrest portion when the seat shell is rearward-facing to allow, for example, a mirror to be attached providing a view of the infant occupant to a vehicle driver.

An apparatus for assisted buckle release employing a generally C-shaped, V-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.

A child restraint includes a seat base adapted to rest on a vehicle seat and a juvenile seat adapted to couple to the seat base. The seat base includes a seat-base foundation configured to support the juvenile seat and a tether strap coupled to an upper end of the seat-base foundation and adapted to be fixed to a tether-strap anchor coupled to the vehicle seat.

A car seat configured to be fastened to a vehicle, includes a seat shell and a belt guide disposed at the seat shell to redirect a belt set of the vehicle for rerouting the belt set along a deviation path from an original path. When the belt set is not engaged with the belt guide, the belt set is routed along the original path. When the belt set is engaged with the belt guide, the belt set is routed along the deviation path from the original path. The rerouted belt set improves the symmetry of forces encountered by the vehicle and also improves the kinetics of the car seat during a crash. A break-away feature in the belt guide advantageously absorbs forces at different times during a crash.

A seat assembly and a method of assembly. The seat assembly includes a trim cover assembly and a cushion that defines an opening for receiving a child seat anchor. The trim cover assembly has flaps that are attached to a stiffener. The stiffener is received in the opening and is mounted to the cushion.

A child safety seat includes an ISOFIX assembly and a base. The ISOFIX assembly includes a support foot, a connecting portion, and a sliding rail portion between the support foot and the connecting portion. The connecting portion connects to a car seat. The sliding rail portion includes a first sliding rail portion and a second sliding rail portion connected to the first sliding rail portion. A width of the second sliding rail portion is larger than a width of the first sliding rail portion. The base has a frame assembly which has a sleeve portion slidably sleeved on the sliding rail portion. The sleeve portion includes first and second sleeve portions slidably sleeved on corresponding first and second sliding rail portions. The base is operable to be adjusted telescopically with respect to the ISOFIX assembly through a sliding cooperation between the sliding rail portion and the sleeve portion.

A seat base for a child restraint includes a seat-base foundation adapted to rest on a vehicle seat to support the child restraint in the vehicle. The seat-base foundation has a belt-path surface configured to receive a seat belt. The seat base further includes a seat-belt retainer coupled to the seat-base foundation for movement from an opened position to a closed position to clamp a vehicle seat belt between the seat-belt retainer and the seat-base foundation.

The invention relates, inter alia, to an equipment part for a vehicle, including a base, at least one first foam layer and a covering, wherein the equipment part is provided with at least one audio cushion device which has at least one loudspeaker device having at least one loudspeaker, wherein each loudspeaker has a sound outlet. The first foam layer has an opening which extends along a center axis of the sound outlet such that the sound can continue through the opening in the direction toward the covering. A sound-permeable carrier layer covers the opening and in the direction of the sound propagation behind the carrier layer a second foam layer is arranged which engages over the opening.
