• (a) a back rest section and a seat section, and a storage compartment behind said back rest section;
• (b) a child seat pivotally mounted about fixed pivot means for movements between retracted and extended positions in relation to the storage compartment, said child seat including an upper back rest portion and a lower seat portion which are selectively connected and locked to each other in one of folded and unfolded conditions to move together in the folded condition as a single unit between said extended and retracted positions, said child seat being substantially retractable within said storage compartment when folded, and said child seat being substantially extendable exterior of said storage compartment when unfolded for receiving a child by positioning said movable back rest portion generally proximate to said back rest section and said lower seat portion generally proximate to said seat section;
• (c) restraining means for restraining a child placed in said child seat in the extended position of said child seat;
• (d) movable pivot means for pivotally connecting said back rest and seat portions for movements between said folded and unfolded conditions;
• and
• (e) locking means for locking said back rest and seat portions to each other in each of said folded and unfolded conditions, said child seat in said folded condition having a clearance radius about said fixed pivot means smaller than in said unfolded condition, whereby retracting of said child seat in said folded condition into smaller storage compartments and areas of smaller dimensions is facilitated or made possible.
