child restraint apparatus for vehicle, typically as seat assembly, with energy absorbable member with deformable venting chamber on outer face of restraint, typically side

摘要

A child restraint apparatus relates to holding a child within a vehicle interior. The apparatus has a body with an internal area for receiving a child. An energy absorbing member extends in use over at least part of an external surface of the body, typically on a side surface. This energy absorbing member faces away from the internal area. The member also has a deformable chamber that is inflatable and deflatable through a vent so that energy can be absorbed on impact.
