  • Patent number: 9592751
    Abstract: A child safety seat comprising a base placeable on and securable to a vehicle seat and a seat element releasably engageable with the base. The base has an inclination adjustor which is selectively adjustable in at least two different positions relative to a base body in order to adjust the inclination of the base with respect to the vehicle seat. The adjustor includes a locking mechanism for locking the adjustor in a selected adjustment position and for releasing the adjustor in order to allow for selection of another adjustment position. An actuator operates the locking mechanism to lock or release the adjustor. The actuator is positioned on the base so that the actuator is covered by the lower surface of the seat element when the latter is fixed to the base. The actuator therefore cannot be accessed without unlocking and separating the seat element from the base.
