Abstract: A child restraint includes a seat base adapted to be secured to a vehicle seat. The seat base includes a seat-base foundation formed to include a vehicle seatbelt path and a vehicle seatbelt retainer coupled to the seat-base foundation and configured to pivot between a released position spaced away from the vehicle seatbelt path and a clamped position overlying the vehicle seatbelt path to clamp a vehicle seat belt to the seat-base foundation to secure the seat base to the vehicle seat. The child restraint further includes a juvenile seat adapted to be secured to the seat base and a seat connection system configured to maintain connection between the juvenile seat and the seat base.

Abstract: A juvenile seat includes a seat chassis having a seat-bottom base, a seat-back base, and a body frame. The seat-bottom base is adapted to rest on a vehicle seat. The seat-back base is coupled to the seat-bottom base and is arranged to extend upwardly away from the seat-bottom base. The body frame is coupled to both the seat-bottom base and the seat-back base to provide side bolsters and wings for the juvenile seat. The juvenile seat further includes a seat suspension.

Abstract: A child restraint comprising an outer seat-support shell adapted to rest on a vehicle seat and to be secured to the vehicle seat for transportation in a vehicle and an inner juvenile seat coupled to the outer seat-support shell. The inner juvenile seat is configured to provide a child-receiving space sized to receive a child therein. The child restraint further includes a child restraint harness configured to secure the child within a child-receiving space of the inner juvenile seat.

Abstract: A seatbelt airbag is formed of a flexible fabric seat belt tube the first end of which is attached to the floor of the vehicle and the second end of which is wound over a conventional seatbelt retractor. In the uninflated condition, the fabric tube forms a flat belt that passes in a conventional manner through a slotted eyelet in a tongue member that is engaged in a conventional floor-mounted seatbelt buckle to form a conventional 3-point restraint having a lap portion and a torso portion. An inflatable airbag member is disposed within the flexible fabric tube extending from the fixed end of the fabric tube to a location past the tongue fitting into the torso portion of the seatbelt. The airbag member is encased for part of its length within a reinforcing sleeve that extends part way into the torso section.
