A child safety seat having a child seat hingedly mounted on a seat support for use in a vehicle. The child seat includes a seat portion and a back portion with interconnecting sides, pivotally mounted on a seat support, whereby the child seat can be pivoted in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to the seat support about either one of two spaced apart axes of rotation. The arrangement is such that with the seat support centrally positioned on the rear seat of a vehicle, the child seat can be pivoted at least 90° relative to the seat support so that the child seat is positioned closely adjacent to and facing the door opening of the vehicle to provide for maximum ease in placing a child in the child seat. The child seat is provided with a harness to secure the child in place therein, and a latch or locking mechanism is provided to automatically lock the child seat relative to the seat support in the operative position. A manual release is operatively connected to the locking mechanism for effecting the unlatching of the child seat relative to the seat support to permit the rotation of the child seat about one of the pivoting axes.
