  • Patent number: 9315124
    Abstract: In one aspect, a child restraint includes: a safety seat having a base body positioned on a vehicle seat by a securing device; a foot coupled to a bottom of the base body; a first resilient member disposed between the base body and the foot to maintain a compressible distance between the foot and the base body; and an indicator device disposed on the base body and located above the foot. In one embodiment, a linkage assembly is movably mounted on the base body. When the safety seat is not secured by the securing device, the indicator device is not in contact with the foot, and the indicator device displays a first signal. When the safety seat is secured by the securing device, the base body is compressed toward the foot to trigger the indicator device, such that the indicator device displays a second signal.
