ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to car seats, and more particularly to car seats that swivel.
It is well known to place children in a car seat when traveling in a vehicle, such as an automobile. The children car seat provides a safe traveling environment for the child. However, it is sometimes difficult to place the child in the car seat, for various reasons, such as the mood of the child, the height of the vehicle, and the size of the person placing the child in the seat.
Some known car seats can be removed from the vehicle with the child still secured within the seat. In addition, these child car seats can be attached to a car seat while the child is secured within the seat. Unfortunately, these seats can also be difficult to place within the car due to various reasons, such as how crowded the inside of the vehicle is, the height of the vehicle, and the size of the person placing the child in the seat.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a child car seat assembly includes a seat member connected to a pivot member such that the seat member pivots in relation to the automobile in which it is placed.
More particularly, the child car seat assembly includes a support member including a first curved slot and a second curved slot. The first curved slot intersects the second curved slot. In addition, the car seat assembly includes a pivot member including a first tab and a second tab. The first tab is positioned within the first slot and the second tab is positioned within the second slot. The car seat assembly further includes a seat member connected to the pivot member.
The child car seat assembly allows a person to easily place a child in the car seat. The seat pivots to allow the person to situate the child in the seat. The seat is then pivoted so that the child is facing either forward or backward and then secured in place.
