A child safety seat for use in a vehicle has a seat body and a harness including a pair of shoulder straps which extend through respective slots in the seat back to a mechanism for adjusting the length of the shoulder straps. The height at which the shoulder straps project from the seat back can be varied by threading them through different slots. A pad is slidably mounted on each shoulder strap and has a cover formed of high friction material on the side thereof facing the child occupant's body. A tether strap has one end attached to each pad and projects through the same slot in the seat back as the corresponding shoulder strap for limiting movement of the corresponding chest pad along the shoulder strap to a predetermined limit distance away from the seat back. Such limit distance increases as the height at which the shoulder straps project from the seat back is increased.

Child safety seat

A child safety seat for use in a vehicle comprises a seat body having a seat portion and a backrest portion. Guides on the seat body define a strap path for a strap of an adult seat belt which secures the seat body to a vehicle seat. A strap deflecting lever is movable between a first position clear of said strap path and a second position in which the strap is deflected and thus tightened.
