Abstract
A seat cushion for children, placed on the seat bottom of a vehicle seat to provide an elevated sitting position. Uniformly constructed guides for a hip belt, arranged on two opposite sides of the cushion, engage the belt to prevent it from sliding upwards when the cushion is positioned for use and the belt is coupled. Each guide includes a first portion extending forwards in the direction of the vehicle and defining a forwardly opening slot through which one part of the hip belt passes, and a second portion extending laterally outside the slot and forming a stop for a part of the belt located outside the slot to prevent the second part from moving upwards.
