Abstract

A child safety seat system can include a seat base positioned along a vehicle seat and a child seat that can be coupled and decoupled from the base. The system can include a base anchor system that is movably coupled to the base and that holds the base in place along the vehicle seat. The base can include a lock-off device to prevent the base anchor system from being removed or decoupled from the base. The child safety seat system can also include a restraining tether system that includes a looped tether portion and a seat attachment strap. The seat attachment strap can be removably coupled to the vehicle and the looped tether portion can be removably coupled to the child seat. A restraint attachment tether can be coupled to the restraining tether system and movably coupled to the base anchor system to prevent the restraining tether system from being separated from the base. 9507327_1 (GHMatters) P106932.AU 120 135 185

Description

A child safety seat system can include a seat base positioned along a vehicle seat and a child seat that can be coupled and decoupled from the base. The system can include a base anchor system that is movably coupled to the base and that holds the base in place along the vehicle seat. The base can include a lock-off device to prevent the base anchor system from being removed or decoupled from the base. The child safety seat system can also include a restraining tether system that includes a looped tether portion and a seat attachment strap. The seat attachment strap can be removably coupled to the vehicle and the looped tether portion can be removably coupled to the child seat. A restraint attachment tether can be coupled to the restraining tether system and movably coupled to the base anchor system to prevent the restraining tether system from being separated from the base.
