Abstract
Abstract A child seat is formed of a base; a seat body attached to the base and having a seat back; a seat plate disposed in the seat body; and a supporting mechanism for supporting the seat plate. The seat plate includes a front seat plate having a first engaging member, and a rear seat plate having a rear end slidably engaging a guide slit in the seat back and a second engaging member slidably engaging the first engaging member. The supporting mechanism includes a linkage situated between the base and the front seat plate to allow the front seat plate to move up and down. A stopping device is attached to the front seat plate to engage the seat body for stopping the front seat plate at a selected level relative to the base. When the seat plate is moved up and down, no unnecessary space is formed relative to the seat back.
