Abstract: A device is provided for fixing a child seat to a support structure of a motor vehicle, including a plastically deformable holding device, which is fixed to the support structure and has a holding element to which a fixing element, which is attached to the child seat, can be fixed. In order to permit a defined movement of the holding element during deformation of the holding device, the holding device has at least one bending axis along which the holding device can be deformed when a force, such as a tensile force, acts on the holding element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fixing a child seat to a support structure (1) of a motor vehicle, with an, in particular, plastically deformable holding device (10), which is fixed to the support structure (1) and has a holding element (16) to which a fixing element (18), which is attached to the child seat, can be fixed. In order to permit a defined movement of the holding element during deformation of the holding device, the holding device (10) has at least one bending axis (11), along which the holding device can be deformed when a force, in particular a tensile force, acts on the holding element (16).

Abstract: A holder for a securing element of a child seat serves to hold the upper region of a backrest of the child seat on a supporting structure of a motor vehicle, and has a receiving region for the securing element. In order to improve the anchorage of the child seat in the upper region, the holder has a spacer device. When the holder is fitted to the supporting structure of the motor vehicle, the receiving region is held by the spacer device at a predetermined distance from the supporting structure.
