METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURING AN INFANT CAR SEAT TO A VEHICLE SEAT WITH A TIGHT FIT AND WITHOUT USING A DETACHABLE VEHICLE INSTALLATION BASE OR A VEHICLE SEAT BELT, AND RIDE-HAILING METHODS RELATING TO SAME
An infant car seat system includes an infant car seat with an integrated anchor system to conveniently secure the infant car seat to a vehicle seat, without using a detachable vehicle installation base and without using a vehicle seat belt. The anchor system is coupled to the infant car seat at one or more mechanical constraining points positioned based on the center of gravity of the infant car seat and respective anchor points at which the anchor system engages with vehicle lower anchors. The anchor system may be a rigid anchor system or a belted anchor system, and the system may include one or more of a release actuator for a quick disconnect mechanism, an adjustment foot to accommodate different vehicle seats and ensure a tight fit, and/or one or more storage compartments to store parts of the anchor system when unused. Such features render the infant car seat system particularly useful for ride-hailing and ridesharing services.
SUPPORT BASE FOR A CHILD SAFETY SEAT
A support base for a child safety seat includes a shell, a belt clamp and a latching mechanism. The shell is adapted to receive a child seat thereon, and has a belt anchoring region including a first surface and a second surface. The belt clamp is pivotally connected with the shell, and is operable to clamp a first belt portion and a second belt portion respectively adjacent to the first surface and the second surface. The latching mechanism is operable to lock the belt clamp in a clamping state.
Guide element comprising fastening to a seat cushion, seat cushion, vehicle seat and vehicle having a guide element of this type
A ISOFIX guide element, having a base section, a rear side section, and two side sections connected to the base, an insertion opening, which is delimited by respective inner sides of the base section and the two side sections, a bracket opening formed between the base section and the rear side section which has notches formed in the side sections in such a way that a bracket-like fixing element can be accommodated in the notches, and that the fixing element is accessible through the insertion opening.
