The invention relates to a child safety seat (100) adapted to be secured with a safety belt (40) of a vehicle, comprising a seat shell (20) for receiving a child; and a seat base (10) for being placed on a seat of the vehicle. The seat base (10) comprises a base member (1) coupled to the seat shell (20); a pivoting component (2) connected pivotably to the base member (1); and an engaging member (3) configured to engage with the safety belt (40) of the vehicle, wherein the engaging member (3) is coupled to the pivoting component (2) such that a movement of the engaging member (3) in a certain direction relative to the base member (1) causes the pivoting component (2) to pivot away from the base member (1).

A child safety seat is for use on a vehicle seat. The vehicle seat has a safety belt. The child safety seat includes a seat base, a seat panel, and a seat body. The seat base has a seat assembly portion and a backrest portion. The seat panel is openably pivoted to the seat assembly portion for rotating between an open position and a closed position. The seat body is disposed on the seat panel. When the seat panel rotates to the open position, the safety belt passes over the seat base for attaching the seat base to the vehicle seat. When the seat panel rotates to the closed position, the seat panel clamps the safety belt cooperatively with the seat base.

A retainer apparatus including a first retainer portion, a second retainer portion, and a sensor comprising a motion detector and an alarm. The retainer apparatus includes the first retainer portion configured to be slidably attached to a first harness strap and a second retainer portion configured to be slidably attached to a second harness strap. The first retainer portion is removably attached to the second retainer portion. The motion detector is configured to detect movement of the retainer apparatus and activate the alarm to alert a user in a vehicle if movement of the retainer apparatus is detected.

A child apparatus can include one or more shells/frames upon which a child can sit or lie. All or a portion of each shell/frame can be covered in soft goods. The soft goods component can include one or more channels or tunnels provided along all or a portion of a perimeter of the soft goods component. One or more stiffening members can be inserted into the one or more channels or tunnels. The shell/frame can include one or more cavities for receiving a portion of the stiffening member therein to couple the soft goods component to the shell/frame. Alternatively, the shell/frame can include soft goods retaining tabs along a back or side of the shell/frame, and the elongated stiffening member can be inserted between each soft goods retaining tab and the back or side of the shell/frame.

A newborn insert for a child safety seat may include an accommodation region for a child, and an energy-transferring element. The energy-transferring element may include an inherently stable component, and may be arranged laterally at the accommodation region such that the energy-transferring element is positioned at the child's shoulder height when the child is placed in the accommodation region.

Disclosed herein is a rotatable car seat comprised of a base and a shell. The base includes a receiving portion and a backing portion. The seat shell includes a seat back and a seat bottom having a lower portion. The seat bottom is convex and interfaces with the receiving portion of the base. The seat shell is rotatable with respect to the base. The seat shell is selectively positionable between a plurality of orientations. Additionally provided are a features that allow for the effective use of a rotatable car seat.

A seat monitoring system including one or more shoulder belt tension sensors and one or more buckle belt tension seniors configured to monitor the tension in a harness of a child safety seat. The seat monitoring system further includes a headrest position sensor for monitoring the position of a headrest. The seat monitoring system includes a motor for automatic tensioning of the shoulder belts and buckle belt. The seat monitoring system includes an I/O device for inputting child specifications. The I/O device includes a step-by-step guide for properly securing the child within the child safety seat.

This invention belongs to the technical field of safety seats and provides a safety belt central adjuster, which comprises a main body, a press plate and a connecting piece, wherein the press plate and the main body are connected in a hinged mode through the connecting piece, and the press plate can rotate around the connecting piece; at least one spring mechanism used for ensuring the tightening force of the press plate is arranged at the hinged joint of the press plate and the main body, and a ratchet part is arranged at the lower end of the press plate and provided with round sharp reverse teeth; the ratchet part disengages from the main body, and a channel allowing a safety belt to stretch therein is formed between the ratchet part and the main body.

A child safety seat includes a seat back having a routing opening, a seat bottom connected to the seat back for cooperatively providing a seating space with the seat back, a bridge plate having a slot portion and a bending portion, and a safety harness having a shoulder strap and a central adjusting strap. The shoulder strap has two shoulder strap portions slidably routed from a front side of the seat back to a rear side of the seat back through the routing opening. Two rear ends of the two shoulder strap portions located at the rear side of the seat back are permanently coupled to each other through the slot portion. The central adjusting strap is slidably routed to the rear side of the seat back through the seat bottom to be detachably attached to the bending portion for adjusting tightness of the safety harness.

A retainer apparatus including a first retainer portion, a second retainer portion, a transceiver, and a sensor comprising a motion detector. The retainer apparatus includes the first retainer portion configured to be slidably attached to a first harness strap and a second retainer portion configured to be slidably attached to a second harness strap. The first retainer portion is removably attached to the second retainer portion. The motion detector is configured to detect movement of the retainer apparatus and transmit a warning signal, via the transceiver, to a controller within a vehicle comprising the retainer apparatus to alert a user in the vehicle if the movement is detected.
