Abstract: A vehicle seat has a coupler for connecting the seat to the floor of a vehicle, and a first seat section. The first seat section is connected to the coupler, and includes a femur portion and a back portion. A second seat section is also connected to the coupler, and includes a femur portion and a back portion. A third seat section is additionally connected to the coupler and includes a femur portion and a back portion. The first and second seat sections are movable between: (1) a first position wherein the femur portion is generally parallel to the vehicle floor and the back portion is generally perpendicular to the vehicle floor; (2) a second position wherein the femur portion and the back portion are both generally parallel to the vehicle floor; and (3) a third position wherein the femur portion and back portion are both disposed generally perpendicular to the vehicle floor.

Abstract: An integral child seat in which the lap belt of the restraint system is attached to opposite sides of the rotating child seat support, forward of the rotational axis of the seat support. By attaching the belts to the seat support forward of the rotation axis, the lap belt will remain snugly fitting to the seat occupant's lap and have a reduced tendency to ride over the iliac crest of the seat occupant's pelvis during a vehicle collision.
