  • Patent number: 10413085
    Abstract: An adjusting mechanism includes a first engaging component, a second engaging component and a third engaging component is applied to a child carrier including a supporting component and a seating component. The first engaging component is detachably disposed on the supporting component. The second engaging component is disposed on the seating component. The third engaging component is movably located between the first engaging component and the second engaging component in a switchable manner. The second engaging component drives the third engaging component to move between a first position and a second position. The third engaging component moves to the first position to engage with the first engaging component so as to constrain relative movement between the seating component and the supporting component. The third engaging component moves to the second position to be separated from the first engaging component and the seating component can rotate relative to the supporting component.

  • Patent number: 10315538
    Abstract: A child safety seat includes a seat shell, an extension member and a foot. The seat shell has a bottom surface capable of resting stably on a vehicle seat. The extension member is connected with the seat shell, and is configurable between a first position where a forward end of the extension member extends forward from a front end of the seat shell, and a second position where the extension member is retracted toward the seat shell. The foot is connected with the seat shell and is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the seat shell, the foot being movably linked to the extension member. The foot and the seat shell are movable relative to each other to adjust the seat shell between at least a first and a second angular position, the second angular position being reclined rearward relative to the first angular position.
