Abstract: A child restraint includes a seat base adapted to be secured to a vehicle seat. The seat base includes a seat-base foundation formed to include a vehicle seatbelt path and a vehicle seatbelt retainer coupled to the seat-base foundation and configured to pivot between a released position spaced away from the vehicle seatbelt path and a clamped position overlying the vehicle seatbelt path to clamp a vehicle seat belt to the seat-base foundation to secure the seat base to the vehicle seat. The child restraint further includes a juvenile seat adapted to be secured to the seat base and a seat-release system.

Abstract: A child restraint includes a seat bottom and a seat back coupled to the seat bottom. The seat back includes a backrest configured to extend upwardly from the seat bottom and a headrest coupled to the backrest for supporting a head of a child. The headrest includes a rear headrest wall, a first headrest side wall extending outwardly away from the rear headrest wall, and a second headrest side wall extending outwardly away from the rear headrest wall and away from the first headrest side wall.

Abstract: A child restraint includes a seat bottom and a seat back coupled to the seat bottom. The seat back includes a backrest configured to extend upwardly from the seat bottom and a headrest coupled to the backrest for supporting a head of a child. The headrest includes a rear section arranged along the backrest, a first side section extending outwardly away from the rear section, and a second side section extending outwardly away from the rear section and away from the first side section.

Abstract: An infant car seat having an outer shell, a protective layer, and a padded fabric cover covering the protective layer is disclosed. The protective layer is preferably made of a polymer, such as expanded polystyrene, and includes a plurality of crush ribs. The spacing of these crush ribs is varied in accordance with the size of the infant. The spacing of these crush ribs determines the stiffness of the layer. In other words, closer spaced ribs offer more resistance to compression, and are therefore stiffer. Ribs that are spaced further apart offer less resistance to compression, and are therefore softer. By varying the spacing of the ribs, the stiffness of the protective layer varies in accordance with the infant's size. Alternatively, or additionally, the width of the crush ribs can be varied to achieve a similar result.
