Abstract
The convertible child safety seat of the present invention provides improved occupant protection in all vehicles, and especially in vehicles equipped with a passenger-side airbag. The child safety seat includes an air bag deflector to deflect an expanding air bag away from the infant and is shock-mounted to reduce crash and airbag energy the occupant is exposed or subjected to. The child safety seat is convertible from a rearward facing position to a forward facing position. The cradle of the safety seat is removable. Additionally, to accommodate the changing size of the child a knee bracket is provided which allows a larger size child to be safely transported within the child safety seat.
