  • Patent number: 10576850
    Abstract: A support base for a child safety seat includes a shell body and a belt restraining frame. The shell body is adapted to support a child seat, and has an upper surface provided with a storage cavity sized to receive an attachment strap and two latch connectors. The belt restraining frame is pivotally connected with the shell body, and is rotatable relative to the shell body between a release position where the belt restraining frame rises away from the upper surface of the shell body so that the storage cavity is opened upwardly, and a clamping position where the belt restraining frame is adjacent to the upper surface for holding an anchoring belt that is routed across the storage cavity.

  • Patent number: 10336219
    Abstract: A support base for a child safety seat includes a shell body for supporting a child seat, a foot and a recline actuator. The shell body has a first and a second end opposite to each other, an upper surface facing upward, and an end surface extending generally vertical at the first end. The foot is disposed at a bottom of the shell body adjacent to the first end, and is movable to adjust an inclination of the support base. The recline actuator is connected with the shell body, and can engage with the foot to lock the foot in position. The recline actuator has at least an actuating portion exposed on the upper surface, the actuating portion being operable to cause an unlocking movement of the recline actuator for disengaging the recline actuator from the foot.
