A booster seat, including a seat bottom for being supported on an upper surface of a vehicle seat, with first and second latches carried by respective lateral first and second sides of the seat bottom for securing the seat bottom to the upper surface of the vehicle seat by a vehicle seat belt. Each of the first and second latches comprises a bottom latch member and a top latch member. The bottom latch member and the top latch member are movable relative to each other between an open, seat belt insertion position and a closed clamping position for receiving and clamping a seat belt extended laterally across the seat bottom and the lap of the seat occupant, thereby securing the booster seat and the seat occupant to the upper surface of the vehicle seat.

A child safety seat, including a seat body having a seat bottom and a seat back. A vehicle seat attachment assembly is carried by the safety seat for securing the safety seat to rigid anchorage units carried by a vehicle proximate to a vehicle seat. The attachment assembly has a transversely-extending coupling assembly carried by the safety seat. First and second connectors are mounted on the coupling assembly for transverse adjustable alignment relative to respective first and second transversely spaced-apart rigid anchorage units. The safety seat may be attached to first and second rigid anchorage units that have differing degrees of spacing between them.

Child safety seat

A child safety seat comprises a seat body having a seat portion and a backrest portion. A head restraint has a support portion secured to the backrest so as to project beyond the upper end thereof and a restraint portion immovably secured to the upper end of the support portion so as to project therefrom in a direction that remains generally parallel to the seat portion.

A child safety seat has a harness including a pair of shoulder straps extending through respective slots in the seat back and a respective lap strap connected to each shoulder strap. A shoulder pad is slidably mounted on each shoulder strap. Each shoulder pad has an upper loop attached to its upper end and a lower loop attached to its lower end, the corresponding shoulder strap being threaded through said upper and lower loops. A respective fixed-length tether extends between the upper end of each shoulder pad and the seat back. A separable link assembly has a first link part slidably mounted on one shoulder strap between the upper and lower loops and a second link part slidably mounted on the other shoulder strap between the upper and lower loops.

A child safety seat has a seat body with first and second side zones, a first abutment zone extending between the side zones for resting on a seat cushion of a vehicle seat and a second abutment zone extending between the side zones for abutting against a seat back of said vehicle seat. Each side zone carries a strap guide mounted in proximity to both the first abutment zone and the second abutment zone. A strap extends from a strap anchorage mounted on the side zone and located on the opposite side of the strap guide to the abutment zones. The strap extends through each strap guide to a releasable connector for engagement with an anchorage on the vehicle seat. The strap has an adjustment mechanism located on the opposite side of the strap guide to the releasable connector for adjusting the length of strap between such releasable connector and the corresponding strap guide.

A child safety seat for use in a vehicle, comprises a seat body having a seat portion, a backrest and side wings projecting from each side of the backrest at the level of the head of a child occupant of the seat. The side wings are moveable relative to the backrest so as to be displaceable between a normal position and a fully deployed position in which they project from the backrest to a greater extent than when in their normal position.
