A child safety seat and base assembly wherein a base is arranged to be secured with respect to a motor vehicle and a seat is arranged to be removably secured is disclosed. The assembly includes: a rotary element rotatably mounted to the base; a seat latch on the rotary element that engages the child safety seat to releasably hold the child safety seat to the base and rotary element; a seat latch actuation assembly for opening or closing the seat latch wherein opening the seat latch releases the child safety seat; and an interlock mechanism actuated upon opening the seat latch that prevents rotation of the rotary element with respect to the base. The seat latch actuation assembly may include a slidably mounted handle, wherein in use, the base blocks access to the handle when the seat is in any position other than one or two side-loading position(s).

A child safety seat and a telescopic structure thereof. The telescopic structure of the child safety seat includes: a first part; a second part slidably cooperated with the first part; and a hydraulic damper disposed between the first part and the second part. The hydraulic damper is configured to cushion relative sliding between the first part and the second part.

A child safety seat for use in a vehicle, the safety seat having a base including a rotating mechanism and a seat shell for a child that is detachably connectable to the base. The base is anchorable in the vehicle using either conventional safety belts or LATCH anchoring provisions. The base is configured to allow a conventional three-point occupant restraint to secure the base to the vehicle and to prevent interaction between the seat shell and the restraint belt. The seat shell, when connected to the base, may be rotated about a generally upstanding axis into forward-facing, rearward-facing, or side-facing configurations. The base includes a moveable wedge that allows the base to optimally fit a variety of vehicle seat having different seat cushion inclinations. The seat shell also includes a height-adjustable backrest portion that allows the seat configuration to be optimized for the occupant, even as the occupant child grows.

A child restraint base adapted for a child restraint carrier includes a base body for mounting the child restraint carrier, a first panel component, a second panel component, an anchor belt and a third panel component. The first panel component and the second panel component are disposed on the base body and spaced from each other. A first through slot is formed between the first panel component and the base body. A second through slot is formed between the second panel component and the base body. The anchor belt passes through the first through slot and the second through slot and is slidable between an in-use position and a stored position. The third panel component is disposed between the first panel component and the second panel component and pivotable between an opened position and a closed position for tensioning the anchor belt to remove slack from the anchor belt.

The invention relates to a child safety seat (100) comprising an integral harness belt (102) for restraining a child in the child safety seat (100), a belt tension monitor (106) adapted for monitoring a belt tension acting on the harness belt (102), a motorized harness belt tensioner (104) comprising a tensioning element (114) driven by an electromechanical actuator (122) and adapted for adjusting the belt tension acting on the harness belt (102), and a controller adapted for controlling the motorized harness belt tensioner (104) to adjust the belt tension to match a first predefined belt tension and for monitoring the resulting belt tension using the belt tension monitor (106).

A child safety seat (1) for a vehicle, the child safety seat (1) comprises a seat body (2) and a frame (3) which is removably secured to or securable onto an existing vehicle seat (VS) in a rearward configuration, the seat body (2) comprising a back portion (20) and a seat portion (21), the frame (3) being pivotably attached to the back portion (20) of the seat body (2) such that, in use, the seat body (2) is arranged to pivot about the pivotable attachment to the frame (3) during a vehicular accident.

An infant car seat includes a seat base and a stability leg. The stability leg includes an upper leg tube, a middle leg tube, a lower leg tube, a rotary member, a first latch and a second latch. The middle leg tube includes at least one hole. The lower leg tube includes at least one opening. The rotary member is assembled with the seat base and affixed to the upper leg tube. The first latch is disposed on a bottom of the upper leg tube and adapted to detachably engage with the at least one hole for constraining a movement between the upper leg tube and the middle leg tube. The second latch is disposed on a bottom of the middle leg tube, and adapted to detachably engage with the at least one opening for constraining a movement between the middle leg tube and the lower leg tube.

An infant carrier is included in a child restraint that may also include a carrier-mount base adapted to be anchored to a passenger seat in a vehicle. The infant carrier includes a shell for holding an infant and a carry handle coupled to the shell and adapted to be gripped by a caregiver.

Disclosed herein are child car seats configured to be installed in an associated vehicle using a safety belt of the associated vehicle and a top tether. The child car seat includes a seat shell supported on a base and at least one of a tensioner mechanism and a recline frame. The tensioner mechanism, which may include a panel, is configured to engage and tension each of the safety belt of the associated vehicle and the tether. The recline frame operatively attaches the seat shell to the base such that each of the seat shell and the recline frame are rotatably supported on the base, and the recline frame is further configured to permit the seat shell to recline with respect to the base.

A seating device includes a headrest movably connected to a seat body. An adjustment mechanism is provided to adjust the position of the headrest relative to the seat body. An operating unit has a driving member to actuate the adjustment mechanism, and a handle portion bending from the driving member. The driving member is movable between non-operative and operative positions. In the non-operative position, the handle portion abuts against the headrest, and the driving member is inoperative to actuate the adjustment mechanism. In the operative position, the handle portion protrudes outward from the headrest, and the driving member is able to actuate the adjustment mechanism.
