The child safety seat (20) may include a base section (21) which may be releasably mounted on onto the vehicle seat, and a seat section (22). In various embodiments the movement of the seat section (22) relative to the base section (21) is controlled by ramps and linkages and by various combinations of ramps and links. In further embodiments, the child safety seat includes an apparatus for tightening the seat belt in response to the sudden deceleration of the vehicle and may also include energy absorbing members which are permanently deformed as the seat belt is tightened. <IMAGE> |
