Abstract
A child restraint seat assembly integral with a passenger seat in a vehicle. The child seat includes a back support constructed and arranged to support a torso of a child in a seated posture. A bottom support is pivotally mounted to the back support and moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position for supporting the child in the seated posture when in the deployed position. A pair of shoulder belts extend over the back support and are constructed and arranged to secure the torso of the child to the back support. A pair of lap belts extend over the bottom support and are constructed and arranged to secure a lap region of the child. A crotch belt is integrally connected to the lap belts and extends upwardly from the bottom support for locking engagement with the shoulder belts. The assembly is characterized by a retarding device integrally formed within the bottom support and engaging the crotch belt for limiting movement of the crotch belt and the lap belts relative to the bottom support to ensure a proper fitting relationship between the belts and the child.
