Abstract
In one example, an infant car seat has a car seat body, a first anchor, a second anchor, and a foot. The car seat body defines a seating surface. Each of the first and second anchors releasably locks to an anchor of a vehicle seat, is coupled to the car seat body, and is configured to move relative to the car seat body between a retracted position and an extended position. The foot is coupled to the car seat body such that movement of one or both of the first and second anchors between the retracted position and the extended position causes the foot to move relative to 1) the car seat body and 2) one or both of the first and second anchors between a stowed position and a deployed position, where the foot is positioned to engage a seat pan of the vehicle seat in the deployed position.
