Abstract
In an arrangement of a child seat on a motor vehicle seat according to the ISOFIX standard, in the case of a crash-associated deceleration, the child seat is displaced in a limited manner in the direction of travel (FR), so that the resultant movement of the child in said direction of travel (FR) is compensated within the seatbelt system of the child seat.

Arrangement of a child seat on a vehicle seat, the child seat having a vehicle-independent belt system for securing the child as well as having a fastening device for connecting the child seat to the vehicle seat,
- wherein the vehicle-independent belt system is fastened to the fastening device and wherein devices are provided on the child seat which, in the event of a crash-caused deceleration of the vehicle, permit a limited displacement at least of the backrest of the child seat in the driving direction with respect to the fastening device, while a rigid connection of the vehicle-independent belt system to the fastening device is unchanged.
An arrangement for fastening a child seat and a vehicle-independent child seat belt on a vehicle seat, comprising:
- a fastening device for fastening the child seat and the vehicle-independent child seat belt to the vehicle seat;
- and
- a mechanism operatively associated with the fastening device, wherein the mechanism allows a limited displacement of at least the backrest of the child seat in the driving direction relative to the vehicle seat in the event of a crash-caused deceleration of the vehicle but maintains a rigid connection between the vehicle-independent child seat belt and the vehicle seat, while the mechanism allows a rigid connection between the child seat and the vehicle seat under the vehicle's normal operating conditions.
A method of fastening a child seat and a vehicle-independent child seat belt on a vehicle seat, comprising:
- rigidly connecting the child seat and the vehicle-independent child seat belt to the vehicle seat under the vehicle's normal operating conditions using a fastening device;
