The pedestal includes a waist-belt guide part for guiding a waist belt. The waist-belt guide part includes a front guide part extending on the front surface of the base part, and side guide parts continuous to the front guide part and extending on the side surfaces of the base part. The pedestal includes a lateral guide member having a laterally projecting part laterally projecting from the side surface of the base part, and an upwardly extending part extending upwardly from the laterally projecting part.

  • Patent number: 8419129
    Abstract: There is provided a child car seat capable of preventing a seat body from being unintentionally moved to a turning position. The child car seat includes a pedestal and a seat body that can be slid with respect to the pedestal. A plurality of reclining positions and a turning position are included in a range within which the seat body can be slid. The seat body includes a retractable projecting member projecting toward the pedestal, and an operation member connected to the projecting member. The seat body can be held in the respective positions when the projecting member is engaged with the pedestal. An operation amount of the operation member, which is required for sliding the seat body between the reclining positions, is smaller than an operation amount of the operation member, which is required for sliding the seat body from the reclining position to the turning position.
