  • Publication number: 20260061900
    Abstract: An improved infant car seat (“ICS”) is provided. The ICS includes a base body and a turn table provided on the base body. The turn table is configured to receive a carrier of the ICS and rotate relative to the base body. Two different attachment points are provided to (1) lock the carrier into position on the base body to prevent rotation of the turn table and (2) to lock the carrier to the turn table as the turn table rotates relative to the base body. The ICS also includes grooves in the turn table. The grooves are sized and shaped to receive corresponding carrier rails provided on the bottom of the carrier such that the carrier can be slid onto and off of the turn table when the carrier is disengaged from both attachment points.
