Disclosed herein are child car seats configured to be installed in an associated vehicle using a safety belt of the associated vehicle and a top tether. The child car seat includes a seat shell supported on a base and at least one of a tensioner mechanism and a recline frame. The tensioner mechanism, which may include a panel, is configured to engage and tension each of the safety belt of the associated vehicle and the tether. The recline frame operatively attaches the seat shell to the base such that each of the seat shell and the recline frame are rotatably supported on the base, and the recline frame is further configured to permit the seat shell to recline with respect to the base.

The present disclosure discloses a child safety seat, which is for being installed on a vehicle seat. The child safety seat includes a base having an anchor part connected to the vehicle seat; a seat coupled to the base; a top rod fixed to the rear of the base; a tether assembly including a top tether and a tether fixing portion that are connected with each other, the top tether being connected with the top rod and the tether fixing portion being connected with the vehicle seat; and an alarm device including a switch which can be triggered when the top tether is tightened. The present disclosure also discloses a tether assembly and a support structure. The child safety seat can conveniently prompt that it is not correctly fixed, and can be conveniently fixed and adjusted, thereby improving the safety and riding comfort of the child safety seat.

A child safety seat includes a first and a second restraining device, and an alert device and a first and a second switch serially connected in a series circuit. Each of the first and second restraining device is deployable to engage with a corresponding structure provided in a vehicle, each of the first and second restraining devices being operable independently and having an idle position and a deployed position. The first and second switches are respectively coupled operatively to the first and second restraining device, and are respectively closed when the first restraining device is in the deployed position and the second restraining device in the idle position. The alert device is thereby activable to emit an alert signal when the first restraining device is in the deployed position and the second restraining device in the idle position.

A child safety seat includes a restraining device, and an alert device and a switch serially connected in a series circuit. The restraining device includes a strap and a tether connector provided at a free end of the strap, the restraining device having an idle position and a deployed position, the restraining device being arranged in the deployed position to engage with a corresponding structure provided in a vehicle for restraining the child safety seat. The switch is operatively coupled to the restraining device and has an open state and a closed state, each of the open state and the closed state of the switch uniquely corresponding to one of the idle position and the deployed position of the restraining device. The alert device is activable to emit an alert signal when the series circuit is closed.

An accessory mount for use with a child safety seat having a base including a rotating mechanism for detachably connecting a seat shell for a child. The base enables rotation of the seat shell into forward-facing, rearward-facing, or side-facing configurations. The base also includes an upstanding backrest portion and is anchorable in the vehicle. The backrest portion includes a reinforcement structure disposed in an upper end that is engageable to a portion of the seat shell when the seat is forward-facing to reinforce the seat shell anchorage. The accessory mount includes an attachment base adapted to matingly engage a portion of the upstanding backrest portion when the seat shell is rearward-facing to allow, for example, a mirror to be attached providing a view of the infant occupant to a vehicle driver.

A child restraint includes a seat base adapted to rest on a vehicle seat and a juvenile seat adapted to couple to the seat base. The seat base includes a seat-base foundation configured to support the juvenile seat and a tether strap coupled to an upper end of the seat-base foundation and adapted to be fixed to a tether-strap anchor coupled to the vehicle 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 panel at an end thereof and a belt anchoring region adjacent to the panel, the belt anchoring region including a first and a second surface, the second surface being supported by the panel and connected with the first surface. The belt clamp is pivotally connected with the shell, and is operable to clamp a first and a second belt portion respectively adjacent to the first and second surface. The latching mechanism is operable to lock the belt clamp in a clamping state.

Provided is a tether anchor assembly for a vehicle including a seat frame including a support panel coupled to a back frame, the support panel including an anchor groove provided therein, and a mounting wire exposed to an outside through the anchor groove, and a tether cover configured to allow the mounting wire to be fitted and coupled to an inside thereof and to be exposed to the outside through the anchor groove when inserted into the anchor groove, and to be directly coupled to the support panel to fix a position of insertion thereof into the anchor groove.

A child safety seat assembly includes a shell body for defining a support base attachable to a child seat, a leg frame extendible downward from a bottom of the shell body, and a cushion part. The leg frame includes a first and a second tube segment attached with each other, the first tube segment being affixed with a fastener. The cushion part is affixed in the second tube segment adjacent to the fastener, and is formed as an integral hollow body including a first, a second and a third sidewall. The first sidewall faces the fastener, and the second and third sidewalls include inward recessed surfaces and are respectively connected with two side edges of the first sidewall. When the second tube segment is forced to displace relative to the first tube segment, the fastener and the first sidewall push against each other to cause deformation of the cushion part.

In one example, a vehicle seat assembly includes a flexible trim cover including an opening and a trim plate received in the opening of the trim cover. The trim plate includes an opening. The vehicle seat assembly includes a bezel received in the opening of the trim plate, and the bezel includes a trim and a housing. The trim surrounds the housing, and the housing of the bezel includes a channel that receives a top tether wire.
