Abstract: A vehicle-mountable child safety seat assembly is disclosed. The seat assembly includes a safety seat and a prop assembly mounted with respect to the safety seat. The prop assembly has a stowed position and a safely deployed position. The prop assembly includes: a leg assembly; a foot assembly mounted to the leg assembly; and a first sensor, for example a tilt sensor, for sensing when the prop assembly is not in the stowed position. A second sensor for sensing when the prop assembly is not in the safely deployed position is also provided. A warning system is also disclosed. The warning system changes from a timing state to the warning state if the second sensor senses that the prop assembly is not in its safely deployed position by a pre-determined time after the change from a standby state to a timing state.

Abstract: A child safety seat and base assembly wherein a base is arranged to be secured with respect to a motor vehicle and a seat is arranged to be removably secured is disclosed. The assembly includes: a rotary element rotatably mounted to the base; a seat latch on the rotary element that engages the child safety seat to releasably hold the child safety seat to the base and rotary element; a seat latch actuation assembly for opening or closing the seat latch wherein opening the seat latch releases the child safety seat; and an interlock mechanism actuated upon opening the seat latch that prevents rotation of the rotary element with respect to the base. The seat latch actuation assembly may include a slidably mounted handle, wherein in use, the base blocks access to the handle when the seat is in any position other than one or two side-loading position(s).
