  • Patent number: 12606063
    Abstract: A child seat comprising a seat body comprising a seat portion and a backrest portion.

A tensioning mechanism comprising a clamping member pivotally attached with respect to the seat body, the clamping member is rotatable between a first and second position. Placing the clamping member in the second position allows the seat body to receive the belt of the vehicle seat, and movement of the clamping member from the second position to the first position presses a portion of the clamping member against both the shoulder section and the lap section of the belt such that a portion of the shoulder section and the lap section are displaced by the clamping member to secure the child seat to the vehicle seat in a tensioned configuration.
