STRAP ADJUSTER FOR JUVENILE VEHICLE SEAT

摘要

A child-restraint apparatus (10) includes a seat (12) and a child-restraint harness (14) having a restraint strap (18) configured to embrace the shoulders and thighs of a seated child, and an adjustment strap (20). A buckle unit (128) is arranged to couple restraint strap (18) to adjustment strap (20) on the front side (32) of seat (12). An adjustor (16) is positioned to lie along a rearward-facing surface (22) of seat (12) and coupled to first and second ends (112, 114) of restraint strap (18). Adjustment strap (20) slides in slots formed in adjustor (16) at the option of a caregiver to change the effective length of adjustment strap (20) and tighten or loosen portions of restraint strap (18) relative to a child seated on seat (12).
