Claims30
A child restraint system for installation in a vehicle, the child restraint system comprising:
- a support base removably mountable to a vehicle seat of the vehicle, the support base comprising:
- a first positioning element;
- a second positioning element configured to receive a child seat, the second positioning element being movably connected to the first positioning element and being movable relative to the first positioning element between a travel position, a first loading position, and a second loading position;
- and
- wherein in the travel position, the second positioning element is aligned with the first positioning element, in the first loading position, the second positioning element is offset from the first positioning element in a first direction, and in the second loading position, the second positioning element is offset from the first positioning element in an opposite, second direction.
A child restraint system for installation in a vehicle, the child restraint system comprising:
- a support base removably mountable to a vehicle seat of the vehicle, the support base having a forward end and a rearward end spaced from the forward end along a base axis, the support base comprising:
- a first positioning element;
- a second positioning element being movably connected to the first positioning element such that the second positioning element is translatable relative to the first positioning element along a translation axis, the translation axis being oriented normal to the base axis, wherein the second positioning element is movable along the translation axis to a plurality of positions, the plurality of positions being arranged at opposite sides of the base axis.
A child restraint system for removably mountable to a vehicle, the child restraint system comprising:
- a support base removably mountable to a vehicle seat of the vehicle, the support base being positionable at an upper seat surface of the vehicle seat, the support base comprising:
- a first positioning element couplable to a child seat of the child restraint system, the child seat having a seat axis extending between a front and a rear of the child seat;
- and
- a second positioning element, wherein the first positioning element is moveably connected to the second positioning element in a translating manner,
- wherein the first positioning element is configured to provide a sliding movement of the child seat relative to the second positioning element when the child seat is in at least one of a right-facing orientation and a left-facing orientation.
A child restraint system comprising:
- a support base removably mountable to a vehicle seat comprising:
- a first positioning element couplable to a child seat of the child restraint system;
- a second positioning element;
- and
- a third positioning element, the second positioning element being arranged between the first positioning element and the third positioning element;
- wherein:
- the first positioning element and the second positioning element are moveably connected to the third positioning element such that the child seat is transitionable between a travel position and a loading position;
- when the child seat is in the loading position, the first positioning element and the second positioning each have a portion overlapping the third positioning element, and the second positioning element protrudes from a side of the third positioning element.
