Abstract
A vehicular child safety seat includes a seat main body (,A) attached to a base body (,C) in a rotatable manner. The seat main body includes a seat portion (,), a backrest (,) reclinably hinged to the seat portion, a head guard (,) tiltably hinged to the upper edge of the backrest, side guards (,) protruding perpendicularly from lateral edges of the backrest, and armrests (,) protruding upwardly along side edges of the seat portion. When the backrest is in its most reclined position, and the seat main body is rotated on the base body to be transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the seat portion and backrest are substantially coplanar and horizontal to form a baby bed. When the backrest is in a more upright position, and the seat main body is rotated to face forward or rearward in the vehicle, the safety seat is suitable for an infant, toddler or older child sitting upright. Thus, a vehicular child safety seat can be provided that can be used constantly throughout the entire childhood for a baby, an infant, and a child of school age.
