Abstract:
1. A child restraint comprising a seat support including a base adapted to set on a vehicle seat and a swivel coupled to the base, a juvenile seat mounted on the swivel for swiveling motion on an arc relative to the base about an axis of rotation along a first portion of the arc between a left-facing entry position and a forward-facing travel position and along a second portion of the arc between the forward-facing travel position and a right-facing entry position, and a swivel-direction controller coupled to the base and configured to cooperate with the base to selectively lock the juvenile seat against movement along a portion of an arc while providing means for selectively allowing swiveling motion of the juvenile seat relative to the base along one of the first portion of the arc while locked to permit movement of the juvenile seat back and forth between the left-facing entry position and the forward-facing travel position and the second portion of the arc while locked to permit movement of the juvenile seat back and forth between the forward-facing travel position and the right-facing entry position so that swiveling motion of the juvenile seat is limited to only one of the first and second portions of the arc at a time.
