Abstract
A juvenile car seat for supporting a child is disclosed. The seat includes a bottom seat portion and a back support portion. A barrier shield is provided which includes an arm member, a first shield member, and a second shield member. Each of the first and second shield members is pivotally coupled to the arm member for pivoting between a use position generally above and parallel to the bottom seat portion, and a storage position generally to the side of the bottom seat portion. A latch and buckle are provided for fixing the first and second shield members in the use position. A shoulder harness is also provided. The shoulder harness includes a first shoulder strap connected between the back support portion and the first shield member, and a second shoulder strap connected between the back support portion and the second shield member. The shoulder straps and shield members are cooperable to place the shoulder straps in front of the torso of the child when the shield members are in the use position and to place the shoulder straps away from the torso of the child when the shield members are in the storage position.
