A child safety seat includes a shell having a seat portion and a backrest, and a seat board assembled with the shell, the seat board being disposed on the seat portion so that a child placed in the child safety seat sits on the seat board, the seat board being slidable relative to the shell toward or away from the backrest. The seat board can be thereby configurable as an extension member that is movable relative to the shell for adjusting a leg room for a child sitting on the seat board.

A child restraint spin lock is adapted to be installed in a safety seat that includes a base member and a mid base being rotatable relative to the base member about an axis. The child restraint spin lock includes two locking components and a pivot component. The locking components are adapted to be co-rotatably connected to the mid base, are spaced apart from each other, and are adapted to be movable relative to the base member between a locked position and an unlocked position. The pivot component is adapted to be rotatable relative to the mid base about the axis, and is pivotally connected between the locking components such that movements of the locking components are synchronized by rotation of the pivot component.

A car seat swivel assembly includes a base bracket that can be secured to a vehicle seat and a pivot bracket that is attachable to the base bracket. A chair bracket is provided which is attached to a child car seat. A pair of hinge units is each attached to the chair bracket. Each of the hinge units releasably engages the primary portion of the pivot bracket and the pivot bracket when the chair bracket is in a home position to retain the child car seat in a seated position. The chair bracket is pivotable into a pivoted position on the pivot bracket when a respective one of the hinge units is actuated into an unlocking condition. In this way the hinge units facilitate the child car seat to be directed toward a door of a vehicle thereby facilitating a child to be positioned in the child car seat.

A child safety seat or a baby carrier for mounting on a motor vehicle seat, particularly a motor vehicle side seat, has a seat tray and a side impact bar mounted thereon which can be moved from a rest position located in particular within a standard width to a functional position located in particular outside thereof, and vice versa, wherein the side impact bar is positioned in particular on both sides of the seat tray so as to transmit any lateral forces behind the back of a child sitting in the child safety seat and to direct said lateral forces into the seat tray. A side impact bar is used with and mounted on the child safety seat or baby carrier.

A safety belt connecting structure includes first and second shoulder belts, and an adjusting belt. The first and second shoulder belts have corresponding first and second shoulder belt coupling ends and first and second shoulder belt connecting end, and the first shoulder belt engaging end is coupled to a facility where the safety belt connecting structure is installed. The second shoulder belt coupling end is coupled to the facility. The adjusting belt has an adjusting belt connecting end and an adjusting belt adjusting end. The adjusting belt connecting end is connected with the first and second shoulder belt connecting ends, and the adjusting belt adjusting end is adjustably fixed with a positioning portion on the facility, so that an acting length of the safety belt connecting structure with respect to the facility is adjustable by adjusting a position of the adjusting belt with respect to the positioning portion.

The invention relates to a child safety seat (100) comprising an integral harness belt (102) for restraining a child in the child safety seat (100), a belt tension monitor (106) adapted for monitoring a belt tension acting on the harness belt (102), a motorized harness belt tensioner (104) comprising a tensioning element (114) driven by an electromechanical actuator (122) and adapted for adjusting the belt tension acting on the harness belt (102), and a controller adapted for controlling the motorized harness belt tensioner (104) to adjust the belt tension to match a first predefined belt tension and for monitoring the resulting belt tension using the belt tension monitor (106).

A child safety seat (1) for a vehicle, the child safety seat (1) comprises a seat body (2) and a frame (3) which is removably secured to or securable onto an existing vehicle seat (VS) in a rearward configuration, the seat body (2) comprising a back portion (20) and a seat portion (21), the frame (3) being pivotably attached to the back portion (20) of the seat body (2) such that, in use, the seat body (2) is arranged to pivot about the pivotable attachment to the frame (3) during a vehicular accident.

A seat adjustment structure for adjusting a relative position between a seat and a base carrying the seat is provided. The seat adjustment structure is slidable with respect to the base along a longitudinal centerline, and includes: a pair of engaging members, fixed to one of the base or the seat with respect to the longitudinal centerline; a locking assembly, fixed to the other of the base or the seat, the locking assembly lockable to or unlockable from the engaging member; an operating member movable with respect to the seat along a vertical direction; and a cable, connecting the operating member and the locking assembly, and arranged to transmit a vertical movement of the operating member to the locking assembly, thereby causing the locking assembly to be locked or unlocked with respect to the engaging member to lock or unlock the base with respect to the seat.

A child safety seat comprising a seat shell comprising a seat portion and a back portion, an adjustable backrest configured to be moveable with respect to the seat shell between a first position, where at least a portion of the backrest is moved away from the back portion and closer to a front edge of the seat portion, reducing the available seating area for an occupant of the seat, and a second position, where at least a portion of the backrest is moved toward the back portion and further from the front edge of the seat portion, increasing the available seating area for the occupant of the seat.

A system for guiding installation of car seat base and a corresponding car seat includes sensors mounted on the car seat base for detecting a progress in a plurality of sequential installation steps. The installation steps are required for installing the car seat base and the corresponding car seat on a vehicle seat. The car seat base further includes light emitting elements arranged at various locations on the car seat base, each location corresponding to one of the installation steps. A processor is adapted to execute code instructions for, in response to outputs of the sensors, identifying completion of a current installation step. The processor is further adapted to instruct a suitable light emitting element to indicate a location corresponding to an installation step following the current installation step. An anti-rebound device includes a spring or piston that adaptively adjusts in response to an impact and a locking mechanism.
