A device for adjusting the height of a mono-post type headrest for a vehicle includes a headrest on a mono-post mounted on a seatback frame to be adjustable in height and includes a lever on one side of the headrest, thereby easily adjusting the headrest to the desired height by only a flipping operation for unlocking the lever.

A vehicle includes a passenger compartment having a first row of seats and a second row of seats disposed behind the first row of seats. The second row of seats including a seat back configured to fold forward toward the first row of seats. The seat back of the second row of seats further including at least one headrest that is movable from a retracted position to an extended position. The at least one headrest includes a retraction mechanism configured to retract the headrest to a retracted position automatically when the seat back of the second row of seats is folded forward.

A vehicle headrest assembly includes a latch mechanism moveable between an engaged position and a release position. The vehicle headrest assembly also includes a shape memory alloy (SMA) release assembly operatively coupled to the latch mechanism to selectively move the latch mechanism from the engaged position to the release position. The SMA release assembly includes an actuator base including a pair of tracks defining a slot, the actuator base including a plurality of retaining tabs. The SMA release assembly also includes a printed circuit board (PCB) retained directly to the actuator base and disposed adjacent the plurality of retaining tabs. The SMA release assembly further includes a slide disposed within the slot and retained to the actuator base with the pair of tracks. The slide is moveable to contact and bias the latch mechanism to the release position upon energization and contraction of a SMA wire.

A headrest level adjustment mechanism includes a main support that is provided on a side of a main headrest stay, and cooperates with the main headrest stay to provide a locking mechanism that adjusts a level of the headrest and locks the headrest at a predetermined level, and a sub support that is provided on a side of a sub headrest stay, and cooperates with the sub headrest stay to provide a movement restriction mechanism that restricts downward movement of the headrest and keeps the headrest at a lowest-level position, in a condition where the main headrest stay is engaged with the main support, and a gap is provided between the headrest and a seat back, the main headrest stay and the sub headrest stay being held by the seat back and hanging down from two positions of the headrest spaced from each other in a seat width direction.

A child restraint base adapted to a child restraint carrier is disclosed herein. The child restraint base includes a base body including a first pocket and a second pocket. The first pocket and the second pocket are disposed on front lateral sides of the base body. An anchor belt is included that comprises a first anchor attached to a first end of the anchor belt, and a second anchor attached to a second end of the anchor belt. The first pocket is configured to receive at least a portion of the first anchor, and the second pocket is configured to receive at least a portion of the second anchor. A panel is pivotable between an opened position and a closed position, and the panel pivots to the closed position to tension the anchor belt to remove slack from the anchor belt.
