A child carrier restraint that allows the upper ends of the shoulder straps to be adjustably positioned to properly secure children having varying torso lengths within the child carrier. The child restraint includes a traditional five point belt harness and pair of shoulder belt location adjusters, which allows the shoulder strap to be selectively positioned over and behind the child regardless of the length of the child's torso. The shoulder location adjusters are mounted to the back of the child carrier and includes a strap loop trained about a locking slide and a bottom strap loop anchor. The end of the shoulder strap is sewn directly to the strap loop. The locking slide can be manually disengaged to allow the strap loop to slide freely, thereby selectively positioning the end of the shoulder strap along the back of the child carrier.

A vehicle seat includes a seat base and a seat back which together define a first outboard seating section, a second outboard seating section, and a center seating section. A center seat back of the center seating section is defined by a service door and a removable panel provided beneath the service door in a height direction of the vehicle seat. The service door is connected to one of the seat base and the seat back at a first hinged connection. The center seat back is configured to have a fold down, service position where the service door pivoted at the first hinged connection is located above the seat base to provide access to an area rearward the seat back in a front-rear direction of the vehicle seat. The service door is prevented from moving to the fold down, service position with the panel located beneath the service door.
