ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat integrated to selectively provide an adult seat in an adult seat mode and a child's seat in a child seat mode, the child's seat including a child's seat belt assembly including a pair of shoulder belts extending from the cushioned child's seat back over the shoulders of a child in a sitting position on the cushioned child's seat. Each of the shoulder belts when the child's seat belt assembly is in a restraint condition including a generally straight portion which extends forwardly from a position rearwardly of a support surface provided by the child's seat back through a space in the cushioned child's seat back accommodating the same to a position adjacent the child's shoulder. The child's seat belt assembly is constructed and arranged to automatically accommodate any particular child within a nominal size range between a 20-pound child and a 60-pound child without the straight portions having any appreciable forwardly and upwardly extent even for a 60-pound child or any appreciable ear interference even for a 20-pound child. The child's seat belt assembly is constructed and arranged to accomplish the aforesaid automatic accommodation by restricting the straight portions to extend forwardly from the support surface automatically from progressively lower levels at progressively greater angles to the horizontal as the particular child held in the restraint condition of the child's seat belt assembly is of progressively diminishing size within the range.
