Car seat base with installation guidance and locking anti-rebounding mechanism

A system for guiding installation of a car seat base and a corresponding car seat, comprising:

• a plurality of sensors mounted on the car seat base for detecting a progress of a user in a plurality of sequential installation steps required for installing the car seat base and the corresponding car seat on a vehicle seat;
• a plurality of light emitting elements arranged at various locations on the car seat base, each location corresponding to one of the plurality of installation steps;
• a processor adapted to execute code instructions for:
• in response to outputs a first light signal of at least one of the plurality of sensors, identifying completion of a current installation step of the plurality of installation steps;
• and
• instructing a suitable light emitting element from the plurality of light emitting elements to output a second light signal indicate a location corresponding to an installation step following the current installation step,
• wherein, upon detection of an error status by one of the sensors, one or more of the plurality of light emitting elements is configured to display an error light signal to instruct the user to rectify the error,
• wherein the error status comprises at least one of:
• (1) installation step not completed correctly or completed in the wrong sequence;
• (2) child not buckled;
• (3) one of the parts of the car seat base or car seat not properly connected;
