A child transportation system is disclosed. The system includes a seating component and various other modules. The system can check whether a seating component is located in a vehicle, whether the seating component is a proper component given the weight and height of the child in the seat, that the seating component is properly secured in the vehicle, and that the system is operating correctly. The system can monitor various conditions of the seat and the environment, and can provide alarms to users when cheks are not completed or dangerous environmental conditions are present, or when a child is left behind in a vehicle.

The child safety seat (1) for use in a vehicle in accordance with the invention comprises a seat member (3) configured to hold a child (2), a base member (4) adapted to be attached to a seat (15) of the vehicle, and a deformable energy absorbing element (20), wherein the seat member (3) is slidably mounted to the base member (4) in such a way that the seat member (3) is displaceable from an initial position to a shifted position by sliding the seat member (3) relative to the base member (4) and in such a way that crash-induced inertial forces acting on the child safety seat (1) during a frontal collision of the vehicle tend to slide the seat member (3) from the initial position to the shifted position, wherein the deformable energy absorbing element (20) is arranged to be deformed when the seat member (3) is slid from the initial position to the shifted position.

A child car set includes an accident-detection system and a child-protection system that is active during a situation detected by the accident-detection system. The child car seat includes a system for triggering the child-protection system based on acceleration measurement.

A child safety seat includes a seat base, and a seat body assembly that is slidably coupled to the seat base. The seat base includes a bottom. The energy absorber is configured to translate front and rear portions of the seat body assembly substantially linearly towards the bottom and to reduce impact forces imposed on the seat body assembly during a deceleration of the child safety seat.

The present disclosure concerns a child car seat comprising an active protection system and a system for triggering the active protection system when needed.

The present disclosure concerns a child car seat comprising an active protection system and a system for triggering the active protection system when needed.

A safety seat for a vehicle that comprises a static part attachable to an anchor of a vehicle, energy absorption elements mounted on the static part, each designed to absorb a different amount of energy and a dynamic part adapted to accommodate a child and comprising at least one connector which is engaging at least one of the at least one energy absorption element, the at least one engaged energy absorption element is adapted to a weight range of a child, so as to absorb impact energy applied on the dynamic part via the static part, thus extending along a longitudinal movement between the static part and the dynamic part.

Provided is a child restraint system (CRS) with automated installation that provides automated feedback and control of seat installation angle, belt latching and tightening, and confirmation of correct install. The CRS utilizes sensors to monitor CRS base angle relative to level, confirm correct latching of the CRS to its base and then to the vehicle seat, and confirm tightening of the belts to the required tension to be crashworthy. The stepwise operation and confirmation of the installation procedure may be operated via button(s) or other tactical input, and relayed to the user via electronic visual display and/or audible means. All operations will be overseen and processed by an integrated control system, affording minimal user decision or interface. An intelligent latching device which can be adapted for use with an existing CRS is also provided.

The invention relates to a method for triggering protective means, in particular an airbag and/or a belt tensioner, in a child restraint device, in particular according to one of claims 18 to 20, comprising the steps of: a) determining at least one measurement direction and/or a measurement direction corridor; b) receiving acceleration sensor signals from at least two acceleration sensors (74x, 74y, 74z), which are preferably orientated differently; c) calculating at least one first acceleration value (aX) along the measurement direction and/or within the measurement direction corridor; d) determining a triggering signal based at least on the at least one first acceleration value (aX); e) triggering at least one protective means based on the triggering signal.

The invention relates to a child safety seat for attaching to a motor vehicle seat, comprising a seat region, a back portion, an impact shield, the impact shield comprising an integrated airbag and/or an airbag being provided in the seat region, an acceleration-sensing device for sensing an acceleration of the child safety seat, and a control device, which is configured in such a way that the airbag is deployed on the basis of an acceleration sensed by the acceleration-sensing device.
