ABSTRACT:
A child safety seat for vehicles comprises a molded plastic seat having a bottom, back and protective sides and fitted with a padded cover. The plastic seat is carried on and strengthened by a tubular metal frame which is constructed to support the safety seat on a vehicle seat and to be secured in place by the vehicle seat belt or a special restraint belt. A retractor belt leads rearwardly from an emergency locking retractor fastened to the underside of the seat and joins a pair of shoulder belts which extend divergently and upwardly in back of the seat back, forward over an upper cross piece of the supporting frame and through lateral spaced-apart slots in the seat back and then lead downwardly into a polymeric foam abdominal pad. Portions of the shoulder belts corresponding to the pelvic region of the child are embedded within and united to the abdominal pad and are fastened at their lower ends to the upper portion of a buckle tongue, which portion is also embedded within the abdominal pad. The buckle tongue is releasably received in a buckle affixed on the underside of the front of the seat bottom. Provision is made for adjustment of the effective length of each shoulder strap, and additional slots through the back can be provided for alternative fitting of the shoulder belts in different pairs of slots for improved fitting of the belts to small and large children.
