Child safety seats including energy absorbing elements in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In a variety of embodiments, a child safety seat includes a seat body comprising an outer surface and at least one energy absorber coupled to the outer surface, the energy absorber including an outwardly facing surface facing away from the outer surface of the seat body, an inwardly facing surface facing towards the outer surface of the seat body, and at least one energy absorbing element located between the outwardly facing surface and the inwardly facing surface, wherein the energy absorber absorbs energy in response to an impact.

A seat base includes a base pan and a base lid secured to the base pan. The base lid and the base plan together define a cavity therebetween. An energy absorber is disposed within the cavity and includes an impactor piston provided on the base lid and an energy absorbing member supported by the base pan. The energy absorbing member is configured to translate away from the base pan and towards the base lid during a deceleration of the safety base. The impactor piston is configured to deform the energy absorbing member and to dissipate impact forces imposed on the seat base during the deceleration of the seat base.

A headrest support structure applied to a safety seat is disclosed. The headrest support structure includes a buffer mechanism. The buffer mechanism is connected to a headrest and a seat of the safety seat. Elastic deformation of the buffer mechanism provides a buffer to the headrest and the seat. The headrest support mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present application has a high safety factor and provides a buffer to the headrest and the seat during an emergency brake for accident prevention. The present application further provides an infant carrier having the headrest support structure.

A child safety seat includes a seat shell and a buffering part. The seat shell includes a backrest portion having a front surface and at least one sidewall arranged at a side of the front surface, and an opening is formed in the sidewall. The buffering part is arranged at the sidewall, the buffering part being rotatable relative to the sidewall between a first position and a second position, wherein the buffering part is positioned at the sidewall such that during a sideways collision the buffering part urges the sidewall to bend inwardly.

The invention relates to a child seat, wherein the child seat comprises a main body for receiving a child and an impact shield for holding the child, wherein the child seat is configured such that a center of gravity of the child, at least in an initial state at the beginning of a sudden deceleration of the motor vehicle and/or at the beginning of a rotation of the child relative to the vehicle seat and/or at the beginning of a rotation of the child relative to the main body during a sudden deceleration of the motor vehicle, for example in the event of a frontal impact, is at least approximately at or below, preferably slightly below, a level at which a child rotation axis is located, about which rotation axis the child rotates with respect to the main body, as soon as the child starts to rotate with respect to the main body, and/or is at least approximately at or below, preferably slightly below, a level at which at least one impact shield rotation axis is located about which the impact shield can rotate with respect to the main body.

Adjustable vehicular safety seats are described herein. In one aspect, a child vehicular safety seat can include a seat back adapted and configured to support a child's back; and a pommel extending substantially perpendicular from adjacent to the seat back, such that the child's perineum is supported by the pommel while the child's legs hang on either side of the pommel. In one embodiment, the pommel is fixedly attached to the seat back. In another embodiment, the child vehicular safety seat can further include a pair of adjustable supports, one on each side of the pommel. In some cases, the pair of adjustable supports are movable substantially parallel to an axis defined by the pommel. In some cases, the pair of adjustable supports are movable independently. In some cases, the pair of adjustable supports are movable in tandem.

A tilt adjusting mechanism for adjusting a tilting angle of a tilting component includes a supporting component and a locking component. The supporting component is disposed under the tilting component in a height-adjustable manner. At least two engaging holes are formed on the supporting component along a height adjustment direction. An end of the locking component rotatably engages in the tilting component, and another end of the locking component is configured to engage in one of the at least two engaging holes. A supporting height of the supporting component relative to the tilting component can be adjusted when the locking component disengages from the one of the at least two engaging holes, so as to adjust the tilting angle of the tilting component. The tilt adjusting mechanism has advantages of simple structure, low production cost and convenient operation.

A child restraint comprising an outer seat-support shell adapted to rest on a vehicle seat and to be secured to the vehicle seat for transportation in a vehicle and an inner juvenile seat coupled to the outer seat-support shell. The inner juvenile seat is configured to provide a child-receiving space sized to receive a child therein. The child restraint further includes a child restraint harness configured to secure the child within a child-receiving space of the inner juvenile seat.

Child safety seats including energy absorbing elements in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In a variety of embodiments, a child safety seat includes a seat body comprising an outer surface and at least one energy absorber coupled to the outer surface, the energy absorber including an outwardly facing surface facing away from the outer surface of the seat body, an inwardly facing surface facing towards the outer surface of the seat body, and at least one energy absorbing element located between the outwardly facing surface and the inwardly facing surface, wherein the energy absorber absorbs energy in response to an impact.

The present application discloses a fireproof buffering structure which includes a buffering plate and a fireproof plate attached thereto. A combustion rate of the fireproof plate is lower than that of the buffering plate. In contrast to conventional buffering structures, the fireproof buffering structure adopts the combined buffering plate and fireproof plate. The buffering plate has good impact absorbing capacity for providing a soft and comfortable seating environment and buffering and protection effects during a crash accident, and the fireproof plate can reduce the combustion rate of the integral structure when catching fire. Therefore, the fireproof buffering structure achieves the purposes of safety and comfort. The present application further discloses a supporting cushion apparatus which includes a covering member and the aforementioned fireproof buffering structure accommodated therein. The present application further discloses a child safety car seat which includes the aforementioned fireproof buffering structure and the aforementioned supporting cushion apparatus.
