Abstract: A forward-facing child seat includes a base, a seat removably attachable to the base in a forward-facing orientation relative to a front of the vehicle, and at least one lock-off mechanism mounted to the base to secure a vehicle seat belt to the base. The lock-off mechanism may be one of a variety. For example, the lock-off mechanism may include a lower jaw mounted to the base, and an upper jaw movable relative to the lower jaw between an open position and a closed position.

Abstract: A reclinable child seat assembly includes a base, a seat movably and detachably coupled to the base, and a recline mechanism to enable the seat to be positioned in different recline positions relative to the base. The recline mechanism includes a recline positioner mounted to the seat, the recline positioner having slots corresponding to the different recline positions, a recline lock movably mounted to the base to releasably engage a desired one of the slots of the recline positioner to position the seat in the corresponding one of the recline positions, and a recline adjustment handle movably mounted to the seat to disengage the recline lock from the desired slot to allow repositioning of the seat relative to the base.
