Abstract
A built-in child's safety seat for vehicles is disclosed. The safety seat may be conveniently stored within the horizontal sitting surface of a passenger seat when not in use. By a simple pulling motion, a child's safety seat is formed which provides more protection to the child and which is less prone to be misused.
