Abstract

Abstract A child safety seat, for use in a vehicle, has a seat body (30), rear releasable connectors (34, 134) for rigid engagement with rear standard anchorage units on the vehicle, and front releasable connectors (36, 136) for rigid engagement with front standard anchorage units on the vehicle. The rear releasable connectors (134) are linked to the front releasable connectors (36, 136) by a coupling mechanism (52, 88, 92) which inhibits engagement of the front releasable connectors (36, 136) when the rear releasable connectors (134) are in their released position. The front releasable connectors (136) are mounted on retractable front legs (138) for movement between a deployed position and a stowed position, and blocking means (160) operate to inhibit engagement of the rear releasable connectors (134) when the front legs (138) are stowed.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 124 words
A child safety seat, for use in a vehicle, comprising a seat body (30), a rear releasable connector (34, 134) rigidly secured to the seat body (30) and adapted for rigid engagement with a rear standard anchorage unit (16, 18) on said vehicle, and front a releasable connector (36, 136) rigidly secured to the seat body (30) and adapted for rigid engagement with a front standard anchorage unit (24, 26) on said vehicle, characterised in that the rear releasable connector (34, 134) is linked to the front releasable connector (36, 136) by coupling means (52, 88, 92) adapted to inhibit movement of the front releasable connector (36, 136) into its engaged position when the rear releasable connector (34, 134) is in its released position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 38 words
A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the coupling means (52, 88, 92) is operative to cause release of the rear releasable connector (34, 134) in response to release of the front releasable connector (36, 136).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 62 words
A child safety seat according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the front releasable connector (136) is mounted on retractable front mounting means (138, 176) for movement between a deployed position and a stowed position, and blocking means (154, 160) operate to inhibit engagement of the rear releasable connector (134) when the front mounting means (138, 176) is in its stowed position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 127 words
A child safety seat, for use in a vehicle, comprising a seat body (30), a rear releasable connector (134) rigidly secured to the seat body (30) and adapted for rigid engagement with a rear standard anchorage unit (16, 18) on said motor vehicle, and a front releasable connector (136) rigidly secured to the seat body (30) and adapted for rigid engagement with a front standard anchorage unit (24, 26) on said vehicle, characterised in that the front releasable connector (136) is mounted on retractable front mounting means (138, 176) for movement between a deployed position and a stowed position, and blocking means (154, 160) operate to inhibit engagement of the rear releasable connector (34, 134) when the front mounting means (138, 176) is in its stowed position.
