The child safety seat () for use in a vehicle in accordance with the invention comprises a seat member () configured to hold a child (), a base member () adapted to be attached to a seat () of the vehicle, and a deformable energy absorbing element (), wherein the seat member () is slidably mounted to the base member () in such a way that the seat member () is displaceable from an initial position to a shifted position by sliding the seat member () relative to the base member () and in such a way that crash-induced inertial forces acting on the child safety seat () during a frontal collision of the vehicle tend to slide the seat member () from the initial position to the shifted position, wherein the deformable energy absorbing element () is arranged to be deformed when the seat member () is slid from the initial position to the shifted position.

Child safety seat

The object to provide a child safety seat with which the user is able to restrain and fasten a child in a child safety seat in a optimal way is solved by the child safety seat with the five point harness according to the invention comprises a two tongue buckle, whereby the two tongue buckle comprises guiding means through which webbing is guided and the webbing comprises stopping means to allow a predetermined length of webbing to run through the guiding means and retracting means operatively connected to at least one part of the webbing.

Adjustable lap strap system

Child safety seats are used for the safe transport of children in vehicles. The child safety seats known from prior art often offer only insufficient protection in the case of a side impact. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a child safety seat that improves the protective effect of the child safety seat in the case of a side impact. This object is solved by a child safety seat with side impact protection according to the invention. Such a child safety seat comprises at least one element absorbing and/or transmitting energy which is arranged and designed to be transferred from a rest position to a functioning position to absorb a laterally impacting energy in the functioning position.

Child safety seat with side impact protection

The object of the invention to improve significantly the safety of a child sitting in a safety seat in a vehicle in case of a side impact will be solved by a child safety seat for a vehicle according to the invention comprising an outer shell with a seating area for a child and side wings located on both sides of the seating area, whereas at least one side wing comprises at least one side-impact-pusher-element.

Child safety seat for vehicle

The present invention provides a child seat () comprising a seat back (), a headrest () which is moveable relative to the seat back (), and a removable harness which may be installed for use in securing an occupant to the seat (), wherein the headrest () is coupled to the seat back () such that the headrest () may undergo a first extent of movement relative to the seat back () when the harness is installed and may only undergo a second further extent of movement relative to the seat back () when the harness is removed. In this regard, only when the harness is removed from an operative position, namely one where it is installed such that it can be used to restrain a child, can the headrest () undergo its second further extent of movement relative to the seat back (). This ensures that the headrest () is not inappropriately positioned for the group of child being restrained thereby.
