A toddler seat has a base adapted to sit on the seat part in rearward engagement with the back part, having an upwardly directed seat surface on which a toddler can sit, and provided below the surface with a pair of opposite sides laterally flanking the surface and extending vertically and in the travel direction. Respective guides on the sides extend obliquely upward and forward thereon. Respective arms have lower ends at the guides upper ends above and flanking the seat surface, the belt normally passing around the upper ends of the arms. Respective complementary and interengaging formations at the lower ends and guides allow the arms to slide along the guides without pivoting so that the relative angular positions of the upper and lower arm ends do not change as the arms slide along the guides. The lower arm ends on the guides can be fixed at any of a plurality of positions offset along the respective guides so that the position of the upper arm ends relative to the seat surface can be adjusted vertically and in the travel direction. Thus the arrangement of this invention can be adjusted for a child of any size and can be easily readjusted as the child grows, but once adjusted the adjustment remains and does not need to be redone each time the child is loaded into or taken out of the seat. The guides of the arms ensure that the vehicular seat passes safely around the child so that even a small child can be held by a belt dimensioned for an adult.
