Abstract

Abstract A child safety seat has a seat body (10, 12), a support structure (80), a first releasable coupling (84, 88) for connecting the support structure (80) to a motor vehicle and a second releasable coupling (94, 96) for connecting the seat body to the support structure (80). The support structure (80) includes an upwardly facing abutment surface positioned above the seat portion (70) of an adult vehicle seat and in front of the backrest portion (72) thereof, when the first coupling (84, 88) is engaged. The second coupling (94, 96) is arranged to hold the seat body (10, 12) in rigid abutment with the abutment surface on the support structure (80) either so that the seat body (10, 12) is facing forwardly in the vehicle or so that the seat body (10, 12) is facing rearwardly in the vehicle.
