Abstract: This invention relates to a child safety seat 10 for use in a vehicle seat 18. The child safety seat 10 has an anti-rebound protection. The safety seat 10 comprises a seat and back rest portion 11 and 12 for seating an infant, at least one base member 19 on the safety seat 10 that supports it when placed on a surface such as a vehicle seat and an anti-rebound support 20 attached to the safety seat 10 so that when the safety seat 10 is used in a rearward direction on a vehicle seat 18 the anti-rebound support 20 is moved to a first position where it extends above the seat portion 12 of the child safety seat 10 and abuts against the backrest of the vehicle seat 18 thereby restraining rebound movement. The anti-rebound support 20 is movable to a second position where it is stowed beneath the safety seat 10 so that it is clear of the base member 19 and any surface that the base member 19 is resting on.
