Abstract
The present invention relates to a child restraint system (1) with a base (2) having a lower surface resting on a sitting portion of a vehicle, where the base (2) through ISOFIX latching means is engaged with anchorage means (12) in the vehicle seat (13), thereby providing a pivot connection between the base (2) and the anchorage means (12). Through an energy absorbing mechanism (7) impact energy can be absorbed, thus reducing the degree of rotation of the child restraint (1).
