  • Patent number: 5609392
    Abstract: An integrated child seat includes a movable cushion insert (16) that is supported on a seat frame (12) for movement between a lower position, wherein the cushion insert is aligned with a seating surface (15), and a raised position, wherein the cushion insert is disposed above the seating surface. When the cushion insert is in the raised position, it is available for use by a small child. The cushion insert is supported in the raised position by a foldable support assembly (18). A latch member (20) engages the support assembly and maintains the cushion insert in the raised position. A locking member (22) locks the cushion insert in a lower position. A release (24) releases the locking member when the cushion insert is to be moved from the lower position and releases the latch member when the cushion insert is to be moved from the raised position. A single push button actuator (26) provides simple operation of the release.
