Child seat mount with anti-twist web mechanism

A child seat mounting arrangement in combination with a vehicle passenger seat for a vehicle comprising:

• a child seat positionable atop said passenger seat in a first position whereat the child faces forwardly on said passenger seat and in a second position whereat the child faces rearwardly on said passenger seat, said child seat including a seat portion and a back portion upon and against which the child rests;
• flexible web means on said child seat and having distal end portions;
• first locking devices mounted to said distal end portions;
• adjustment means engaged with said web means operable to control tightness of said web means;
• second locking devices mounted to said vehicle adjacent said passenger seat and lockingly engageable with said first locking devices to secure said child seat to said passenger seat when said child seat is in said first position and when in said second position;
• a top flexible web having a top proximal end mounted to an upper portion of said child seat and further having an outer end;
• a third locking device mounted to said outer end of said top flexible web;
• and,
• a fourth locking device adapted to be mounted to said vehicle above said passenger seat and lockingly engageable with said third locking device to secure said child seat to said passenger seat when said child seat is in said first position and when in said second position.

A child seat for mounting atop a vehicle passenger seat comprising;

• a child seat adapted to be positionable atop said passenger seat in a first position whereat the child faces forwardly on said passenger seat and in a second position whereat the child faces rearwardly on said passenger seat;
• a flexible web mounted to opposite sides of said child seat with said webs having distal end portions;
• first locking devices mounted to said distal end portions of said webs;
• second locking devices mountable adjacent said passenger seat and lockingly engageable with said first locking devices is adapted to secure said child seat to said passenger seat when said child seat is in said first position and when in said second position;
• and,
• an anti-twist pivot mechanism mounted to said child seat, said mechanism having a passage into which said web extends, said mechanism pivotally mounting said web to said child seat pivoting said web when said first locking devices are lockingly engaged with said second locking devices to automatically allow said webs to extend in a straight line toward said second locking devices regardless of the positioning of said child seat upon said passenger seat in said first position and said second position;
• and wherein:
• said first locking devices each include a release push button facing outwards relative to said child seat by said pivot mechanism without web twisting when in said first position and said second position.

The combination of:

• a vehicle passenger seat having a generally vertical extending cushion and a bottom cushion upon which a passenger may be seated;
• a child seat positionable atop and against said bottom cushion in a forwardly facing position and in a rearwardly facing position, said child seat including opposite sides with aligned holes defining a passage;
• a flexible web extending through said passage and having outer end portions;
• a pair of first locking devices fastened to said outer end portions;
• a pair of second locking devices mounted to said passenger seat with said second locking devices releasable and lockingly engageable with said first locking devices to limit relative motion between said child seat and said passenger seat;
• adjustment means engaged with said web operable to control tightness of said web and further operable to allow selection of the length of said web between said first locking devices to enable said web to lengthen to position said first locking devices to lock to said second locking devices when in said forwardly facing position and said rearwardly facing position:
• and,
• a web holder mounted to said child seat with said web extending therein, said holder being rotatably mounted positioning said web along a pair of straight lines extending from said holder to said second locking devices when said child seat is in said forwardly facing position and when in said rearwardly facing position.
