Abstract
A device for the quick-action fastening of a child's seat on a vehicle seat, has at least one plug-in connection with a plug assigned to the child's seat and a socket assigned to the vehicle seat. A locking member locks the plug which has been plugged into the socket. In order to provide a quick-action fastener for the child's seat which can easily be handled in a simple manner and without exerting force, the plug-in connection is associated with a tensioning device which, once the plug has been locked in the socket, draws the child's seat against the seat cushion and backrest of the vehicle seat.
