An adjustable vehicle seat comprises a structurally fixed part, at least one adjustable part mounted for moving relative to the structurally fixed part, and an inflatable cushion positioned between the adjustable part and the structurally fixed part. The inflatable cushion is operative for pneumatically adjusting the position of the adjustable part relative to the structurally fixed part. The pneumatic adjustment of parts of the vehicle seat has the advantage that the compressed air supply which is already available can be shared, making additional electric motors for adjustment purposes unnecessary.

A child seat, in particular for a motor vehicle, has a seat-surface structure, which extends generally in a longitudinal direction and defines the seat surface, and a backrest. One part of the seat-surface structure can be adjusted and secured in the longitudinal direction relative to those remaining parts of the seat-surface structure which define the seat surface. A substructure that carries the seat-surface structure is operative so that the inclination of the seat-surface structure can be adjusted relative to the substructure. A belt-retaining device is carried by the backrest and operative in one operating mode to clamp the seatbelt, in response to the seatbelt traveling in a first pulling direction, and to release the seatbelt, in response to the seatbelt traveling in a second pulling direction. In another operating mode, the belt-retaining device loosely surrounds the seatbelt.
