Abstract
A convertible child restraint includes a lower base to contact a vehicle seat, a seat shell to support a child, and a mid base between the lower base and the seat shell to facilitate recline and rotational adjustment of the seat shell relative to the lower base. The child restraint may be used as a rear-facing car seat, a forward-facing car seat, and a belt positioning booster seat. For the rear-facing car seat configuration, a belt is installed along a rear-facing belt path that passes through the child restraint. The portion of the belt in the child restraint is accessed via a belt access panel when the seat shell is at a rear-facing position. Additionally, the child restraint includes a rotation lockout that allows the seat shell to be rotated from a rear-facing position to a side-facing position, but not a forward-facing position when using the rear-facing configuration.
