Abstract
A seat base includes a base pan and a base lid secured to the base pan. The base lid and the base plan together define a cavity therebetween. An energy absorber is disposed within the cavity and includes an impactor piston provided on the base lid and an energy absorbing member supported by the base pan. The energy absorbing member is configured to translate away from the base pan and towards the base lid during a deceleration of the safety base. The impactor piston is configured to deform the energy absorbing member and to dissipate impact forces imposed on the seat base during the deceleration of the seat base.

A seat base comprising:
- a base pan;
- a base lid secured to the base pan, the base lid and the base plan together defining a cavity therebetween;
- and
- an energy absorber disposed within the cavity and comprising an impactor piston provided on the base lid and an energy absorbing member supported by the base pan,
- wherein the energy absorbing member is configured to translate away from the base pan and towards the base lid during a deceleration of the seat base, and the impactor piston is configured to deform the energy absorbing member and to dissipate impact forces imposed on the seat base during the deceleration of the seat base.
A child safety seat comprising:
- a seat base including a base pan and a base lid secured to the base pan, the base lid and the base plan together defining a cavity therebetween;
- a seat body detachably coupled to the seat base;
- and
- an energy absorber disposed within the cavity and comprising an impactor piston provided on the base lid and an energy absorbing member supported by the base pan,
- wherein the energy absorbing member is configured to translate away from the base pan and towards the base lid during a deceleration of the child safety seat, and the impactor piston is configured to deform the energy absorbing member and to dissipate impact forces imposed on the seat body during the deceleration of the child safety seat.
