A juvenile restraint comprising
- a juvenile seat including a seat bottom and a seat back coupled to the seat bottom to support a child restrained in the juvenile seat, the seat back including a backrest coupled to the seat bottom and arranged to extend upwardly away from the seat bottom and a headrest coupled to the backrest to move up and down relative to the backrest and positioned between the backrest and the child restrained in the juvenile seat, and
- a ventilation system coupled to the headrest to move therewith, the ventilation system including a headrest fan coupled to the headrest and a torso fan coupled to the headrest, wherein the headrest fan and the torso fan are configured to control a headrest airflow and a torso airflow across the child restrained in the juvenile seat,
- wherein the headrest includes a headrest body formed to include a head-receiving space and a ventilation manifold coupled to the headrest body and positioned between the headrest body and the backrest,
- wherein the ventilation manifold includes an upper fan unit coupled to the headrest body and a lower fan unit located between the upper fan unit and the seat bottom,
- wherein the upper fan unit is formed to include a headrest inlet, a headrest outlet spaced apart longitudinally from the headrest inlet toward the headrest body, and an upper longitudinally-extending wall interconnecting the headrest inlet and the headrest outlet such that the headrest inlet, the headrest outlet, and the upper longitudinally-extending wall cooperate to provide an upper air passageway for the headrest airflow, and
- wherein the lower fan unit is formed to include a torso inlet, a torso outlet spaced apart longitudinally from the torso fan inlet toward the headrest body, and a lower longitudinally-extending wall interconnecting the torso inlet and the torso outlet such that the torso inlet, the torso outlet, and the lower longitudinally-extending wall cooperate to provide a lower air passageway for the torso airflow.
