  • Patent number: 10696192
    Abstract: A child safety seat includes a seat shell adapted to receive a child, a belt tightener and a latching mechanism. The seat shell defines a first and a second belt path, the first belt path being configured to receive an anchoring belt for attaching the child safety seat in a forward facing position on a vehicle seat, and the second belt path being configured to receive an anchoring belt for attaching the child safety seat in a rearward facing position on a vehicle seat. The belt tightener is pivotally connected with the seat shell, and is adjustable between a first position for clamping an anchoring belt disposed along the first belt path, and a second position for clamping an anchoring belt disposed along the second belt path. The latching mechanism is operable to lock the belt tightener in the first and second positions.

  • Patent number: 10688892
    Abstract: A child safety seat includes a support base having a stop, a sliding carriage, a rotary platform having a follower part, and a child seat. The sliding carriage is slidable relative to the support base between a retracted and an extended position, and the child seat and the rotary platform are rotatable together relative to the sliding carriage and the support base between a forward and a rearward facing position. While the sliding carriage is in a position other than the retracted position, a rotational movement of the child seat and the rotary platform is limited by a contact between the follower part and the stop that keeps the child seat and the rotary platform apart from the forward facing position, and the stop is located outside a travel path of the follower part when the sliding carriage is in the retracted position for rotation of the rotary platform to the forward facing position.

  • Patent number: 10315538
    Abstract: A child safety seat includes a seat shell, an extension member and a foot. The seat shell has a bottom surface capable of resting stably on a vehicle seat. The extension member is connected with the seat shell, and is configurable between a first position where a forward end of the extension member extends forward from a front end of the seat shell, and a second position where the extension member is retracted toward the seat shell. The foot is connected with the seat shell and is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the seat shell, the foot being movably linked to the extension member. The foot and the seat shell are movable relative to each other to adjust the seat shell between at least a first and a second angular position, the second angular position being reclined rearward relative to the first angular position.
