In one embodiment, a vehicle seat includes a seating portion and a seat back extending from the seating portion. The seat back defines a rear facing surface and a recessed area formed in the rear facing surface. The recessed area extends from an upper surface of the seat back toward a central portion of the seat back. The recessed area defines a void between the vehicle seat and a child seat positioned proximate to the seat back.

A seat base, for a child safety seat, adapted to be secured with a safety belt of a vehicle, includes a base member configured to be placed on a seat of the vehicle, and a positioning element rigidly attached to the base member. The positioning element extends vertically from the base member. The positioning element an engaging member adapted to engage with the safety belt. The engaging member is coupled to the positioning element above the upper surface of the base member at a distance, and the engaging member is kept by the positioning element at the distance from the base member. A child safety seat including such a seat base is also provided.

The invention relates to a child safety seat (100) comprising at least a first (104), a second (104) and a third locking mechanism (106) each being adapted for releasably locking the seat (100) to a vehicle at a respective anchorage point, wherein the anchorage points of the first locking mechanism (104) and the second locking mechanism (104) are arranged on a line, the anchorage point of the third locking mechanism (106) being spaced apart from the line a seat surface (101) of the seat (100), the seat surface (101) providing a sitting area of the seat (100), the third locking mechanism (106) being adjustable in height relative to the seat surface (101) and a coupling member (202), the third locking mechanism (106) being secured to the seat (100) via the coupling member (202), the coupling member (202) being height adjustable to enable the height adjustability of the third locking mechanism (106).

The invention relates to a foot prop adapted to be attached to a child safety seat, comprising an elongate component, comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the lower portion is slidable relative to the upper portion in longitudinal direction of the elongate component. The foot prop is configured such that a force applied in the longitudinal direction causes the lower portion to automatically move away from the upper portion whenever the force exceeds a predetermined threshold, so that the length of the elongate component is increased; and the foot prop is configured such that the lower and the upper portion are releasably blocked against relative movement towards one another. The invention further relates to a seat base and a child safety seat comprising a foot prop.

The invention relates to a child seat system, comprising at least one first seat element and a base which can be attached to a vehicle seat, the base having a plinth element and a rotary element. At least the rotary element has at least one fastening device for fastening the first seat element. The rotary element is arranged rotatably on the plinth element in such a way that the rotary element together with the seat element is rotatable relative to the plinth element for changing an orientation of the seat element, the seat element being removable from the base.

An apparatus for mounting a child safety seat and a seat for a vehicle, which are capable of easing a restriction on a position of the child safety seat on the vehicle seat due to a limited width of the vehicle, so as to enhance the degree of freedom of such a position. At the same time, the apparatus and seat allow mounting of the child safety seat on the vehicle seat in a precise and reliable manner in such a way that the child safety seat can endure an impact load in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle or a lateral direction of the vehicle.

In one example, an infant car seat has a car seat body, a first anchor, a second anchor, and a foot. The car seat body defines a seating surface. Each of the first and second anchors releasably locks to an anchor of a vehicle seat, is coupled to the car seat body, and is configured to move relative to the car seat body between a retracted position and an extended position. The foot is coupled to the car seat body such that movement of one or both of the first and second anchors between the retracted position and the extended position causes the foot to move relative to 1) the car seat body and 2) one or both of the first and second anchors between a stowed position and a deployed position, where the foot is positioned to engage a seat pan of the vehicle seat in the deployed position.

An anti-skipping device including: a pair of fixed bases, symmetrically disposed on both sides, having slide rails extending along a longitudinal direction, and having two side walls facing each other along a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; an extension member, movably inserted on the fixed bases, and being slidable along the slide rail to move between an extended position and a retracted position in respect to the fixed bases; a locking member for coupling the fixed bases and the extension member, so as to lock a position of the extension member in respect to the fixed bases; and a crossbar, disposed on the two side walls to prevent the two side walls from being laterally displaced from each other.

The present inventive concept relates to a child safety assembly. The child safety assembly comprises: a base portion, to be placed on a vehicle seat and for holding a child safety seat and a brace, to be pressed against a backrest of the vehicle seat. The brace being connected to the base portion, for preventing the base portion from tilting from the vehicle seat. The child safety assembly further comprises tensioning means, extending from the brace and secured to the base portion, and a biasing mechanism, coupled to the tensioning means. The biasing mechanism provides, to the tensioning means, a tension which draws the brace in a direction downwards to the base portion for providing a pressure of the brace against the backrest of the vehicle seat.

A base for a child car seat includes a seat base body configured to support a child carrier. The seat base body has a belt channel configured to receive a vehicle seat belt to retain the seat bas body against a vehicle seat. The base for a child car seat further includes a latch connector arm having a proximal end pivotally connected to the seat base body and a distal end configured to attach to a rigid anchor of the vehicle seat. The latch connector is rotatable between a stowed position and an attachment position. In the stowed position, the latch connector arm is located such that the vehicle seat belt may extend through the belt channel and connect to a buckle of the vehicle seat without contacting the latch connector arm.
