It is detachably connected to a buckle 7 attached to the vehicle body.

[0005] When the child safety seat 2 for an automobile is to be fixed to an original seat (not shown) of the automobile, the child safety seat 2 is first placed on the seat of the automobile. At a relatively lower portion of the child safety seat 2, a passage 8 penetrating in the lateral direction is provided. Next, by passing the tongue plate 6 through the passage 8, the intermediate portion of the belt 3 is positioned in the passage 8. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6A, the tongue plate 6 is connected to the buckle 7. In this state, the effective length of the belt 3 using the belt clip 1 described above, that is, the length of the belt 3 located between the tongue plate 6 and the other end 5 is adjusted.

The belt clip 1 is shown alone in FIG. The belt clip 1 has a plate shape and includes first and second slits 9 and 10. First and second
The slits 9 and 10 are arranged so as to be aligned in parallel with their respective longitudinal directions pointing in the same direction.
Also, notches 11 and 12 are preferably formed in each of the first and second slits 9 and 10 to enable the belt 3 to be received from the side.

As described above, the belt 3 positioned in the passage 8 of the child safety seat 2 is in a state of being superposed on two sheets. In this way, the first of the two overlapping belts 3
And the belt clip 1 is mounted on the second portion 14.

In the above mounting, first, FIG.
The belt clip 1 is mounted on the first part 13 as shown in FIG.
