A rotatable child safety seat can include a seat shell for receiving a child therein, a rotating pedestal, and a seat base. The pedestal and seat shell can rotate with respect to the seat base. The pedestal can include a locking pin and the seat base can include a multitude of pin receiving apertures that allow a user to rotate the seat shell and pedestal in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction at a number of different angles or positions. The child safety seat can also include two separate seat belt/LATCH tether pathways. One seat belt/LATCH tether pathway can be provided on the seat back of the seat shell and can be used when the child safety seat is in a forward-facing configuration and the other seat belt/LATCH tether pathway can be provided in the seat base and used when in a rearward-facing configuration.

The baby car seat track system comprises a track, a seat adapter, and a child seat. The baby car seat track system may be operable to couple the child seat to a vehicle seat in a vehicle. The track may be embedded within the vehicle seat running laterally across the vehicle seat and accessible via a crevice of the vehicle seat. The seat adapter may couple the child seat to the track such that the child seat may be repositioned laterally on the vehicle seat and may rotate around a vertical axis. The baby car seat track system may be adapted to make a child more accessible to a user by repositioning and rotating the child seat within the vehicle.

A car seat system for automatically displacing the movable components of the car seat. The car seat including sensors and a computing module to detect the measurements of a child placed in the car seat. The car seat system determines the current position of the movable components and displaces the movable components automatically based on the child's measurements or a desired amount. The car seat system automatically learns child's behaviors when the child is placed in the car seat. The car seat system learns schedules utilized by the child, routes taken by the driver of the car, and other data over a period of time. The behavioral, scheduling, routing, and other data obtained is stored by the car seat system and utilized to enhance the safety and comfortability of the child during a car ride. The car seat system also determines thickness of clothing worn by the child while placed in the car seat and adjusts the shoulder belts to accommodate for the clothing while providing a snug fit of the shoulder belts that fall within safety recommendations. The car seat also auto reclines to a desired angle and also rotates about itself to face the door. The car seat system includes an auto-incident detection mode. In this mode, the system detects an incident, such as an accident, hard braking, or another hazard, and automatically displaces the features in the car seat to make the car seat secure during the crash minimizing the effect of the incident on the child. The car seat also includes pretensioners and motors to release, pull back, and lock the car seat belts.

A seat fastening device is adapted to a child safety seat. The child safety seat includes a base and a seat body pivoted to the base via a pivotal shaft, so that the seat body can switch between a forward-facing orientation and a rearward-facing orientation by rotating around the pivotal shaft. The seat fastening device includes a locking component, a locked component assembled with one of the seat body and the base, and a tightening and loosening mechanism assembled with the other of the seat body and the base and connected to the locking component. The tightening and loosening mechanism is configured to loosen or tighten the locking component as the seat body is rotated to the forward-facing orientation or the rearward-facing orientation, so as to lock the locking component with the locked component, which achieves firm connection of the base and the seat body and convenient and rapid operation.

A child safety seat includes a seat shell, a headrest and a side protection part. The seat shell has a seat portion, a backrest portion and a sidewall, the sidewall protruding forward from the backrest portion. The headrest is connected with the backrest portion and is movable along the backrest portion, the headrest having a side support portion protruding forward. The side protection part is disposed adjacent to the sidewall at an inner side thereof, the side protection part extending along the inner side of the sidewall from a location adjacent to the seat portion toward a top of the backrest portion, a portion of the side protection part being located between the sidewall and the side support portion of the headrest.

The present invention provides a rotatable safety seat includes a seat body, a seat base and a rotation component. The rotation component is slidably connected between the seat body and the seat base. The seat body is slid relative to the seat base via simultaneous shifting and rotation. The rotation component is slidably connected between the seat body and the seat base. During slid of the seat body, the seat body is shifted due to the slide, the seat body is shifted because of the slide, so as to move the seat body close to or away from the seat base; in the meantime, the seat body is rotated when being shifted, so that the infant or the child on the seat body is moved close to or away from the caretaker according to the actual demand. The present invention further provides a carrier with the rotatable safety seat.
