Child seat detection system for a vehicle

摘要

A child seat (CRS) (42) laid on a seat cushion (40) of a front passenger seat (14) is provided with a pair of left and right fixture attachments (44), which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a direction of the width of the child seat (42). The fixture attachments extend rearwards from the child seat (42). Each of these fixture attachments (44) is provided with a lock bar (60), which can be detachably coupled to a fixture bar (46) hanging across rear portions of left and right seat cushion frames (36). Furthermore, there is provided a child seat detector (38) that detects whether or not the child seat (42) has been mounted based on movements of the lock bars (60) resulting from coupling of the fixture attachments (44) to the fixture bar (46).
