Claim:
1. A juvenile car seat comprising a seat base including a foundation adapted to set on a seat bottom of a passenger seat in a vehicle and a squab adapted to support buttocks of a child and arranged to overlie and move relative to the foundation, the squab including a rear squab portion adapted to lie adjacent to a seat back of the passenger seat and an opposite front squab portion arranged to lie in close proximity to a forward edge of the seat bottom of the passenger seat when the foundation is placed on the seat bottom of the passenger seat, an anti-submarining protrusion coupled to the front portion and arranged to extend upwardly away from the foundation and laterally across the front squab portion, and squab-mover means for moving the squab upwardly relative to the foundation and for simultaneously changing inclination of the squab relative to a horizontal reference plane to cause movement of the squab relative to the foundation from an uninclined low position through an acute angle to an inclined high position to raise the rear squab portion to a first higher distance above the foundation and to raise the front squab portion to a relatively higher second higher distance above the foundation so that inclination of the squab is changed when the front squab portion and the anti-submarining protrusion coupled to the front squab portion are raised upwardly relative to the foundation and so the entire squab is raised to a position higher than the uninclined low position.
