ABSTRACT:
An adapter to facilitate the mounting a child safety seat on a narrow vehicular seat assembly such as encountered in the rear bench seat of an extended cab pick- up. The adapter is formed as an injected molded plastic part and includes a platform portion defining a seat support surface having a width at least as great as the width of the safety seat and a leg portion extending downwardly from a front edge of the platform portion for engagement with the floor of the vehicle at a location forwardly of a front edge of the seat cushion. The leg operates to position the platform portion in overlying relation to the seat cushion with a front edge of the seat support surface positioned forwardly of the front edge of the seat cushion whereby to provide a support surface in overlying relation to the seat cushion having a width sufficient to totally support the safety seat. The adapter further includes a tail portion extending rearwardly from a rear edge of the platform portion and sized to be positioned in a crease between a lower edge of the seat back and a rear edge of the seat cushion, whereby to facilitate positioning of the adapter on the seat assembly and retention of the adapter relative to the seat assembly. A seat belt assembly passing through a suitable aperture in the safety seat serves to secure the safety seat to the adapter and secure the adapter to the seat cushion.
