Abstract: A control system for a vehicle seat (1) is provided with an acoustic switching element (11) for selecting a certain setting device (5) or another function and at least one manual control element (12) for actuating a motor drive (M) of the selected setting device or for executing another selected function. The vehicle seat (1) has one or more settable seat components (3) and the setting device (5) for setting the seat components (3), with at least one control element (11, 12), which can be operated by the occupant of the vehicle seat (1) for selecting and/or executing functions. Each setting device (5) provided has a motor drive (M). The motor drives (M) are connected to the control device (7).

Abstract: A child seat, in particular for a motor vehicle, has a seat-surface structure, which extends generally in a longitudinal direction and defines the seat surface, and a backrest. One part of the seat-surface structure can be adjusted and secured in the longitudinal direction relative to those remaining parts of the seat-surface structure which define the seat surface. A substructure that carries the seat-surface structure is operative so that the inclination of the seat-surface structure can be adjusted relative to the substructure. A belt-retaining device is carried by the backrest and operative in one operating mode to clamp the seatbelt, in response to the seatbelt traveling in a first pulling direction, and to release the seatbelt, in response to the seatbelt traveling in a second pulling direction. In another operating mode, the belt-retaining device loosely surrounds the seatbelt.
