  • Patent number: 6139101
    Abstract: An adjustable child car seat (100) includes a base (110) with a pivot rod (174) at one end and a level adjuster receptor (140) with a plurality of adjust positions (150) at an opposite end. A recliner (114) is carried by the base (110) at the pivot rod (174). The recliner (114) provides a level adjuster (250) that is selectively moveable into any one of the adjust positions (150). The recliner also provides a seat recline level adjuster receptor (220) with a plurality of recline positions (224). A car seat (102) is pivotably mounted to the recliner (114) by a seat pin (126). A seat recline adjuster (300) is slidably mounted to the car seat and is selectively moveable into one of the recline positions. Accordingly, the level adjuster (250) allows positioning of the base (110) to the angle of the supporting seat. Further adjustment is permitted by moving the seat with respect to the recliner.
