ABSTRACT:
A seat belt buckle assembly is provided for alternate engagement by either a seat belt latch plate of a seat belt for restraining an adult occupant upon the occupant seat, or by a hook mounted on the end of an auxiliary child restraint belt to restrain a child seat upon the occupant seat. The seat belt buckle comprises a housing having a slot receiving an anchor belt passing therethrough to mount the buckle on the vehicle. The buckle has a conventional push button operated latch arrangement adapted to latchingly receive the latch plate connected to the adult restraint belt. In addition, an anchor plate having an aperture therethrough for receiving the hook of a child seat restraint belt is provided and has a slot which also receives the anchor belt passing through the slot of the buckle whereby the anchor plate is effectively coupled to the buckle by the anchor belt and the anchor belt is effective to alternately connect the seat belt latch plate or the child restraint belt with the vehicle.
