A front foot is pivotally mounted on the front part of the seat body so as to be movable between a first position and a second position in which it projects downwardly from the seat body to a greater extent that when in its first position so as to compress the front part of the vehicle seat cushion. This reduces the extent of angular movement of the child seat which can take place subsequent to installation, for example during an accident, before the front foot abuts against the rigid structure of the vehicle seat with the maximum possible compression of the seat cushion trapped therebetween.
