Abstract:
A child safety seat comprising a seat body having a seat portion, a backrest with an outwardly facing rear surface, and a support mechanism comprising an abutment member and a link having one end connected to the abutment member for relative pivotal movement about a first pivot axis and another end connected to said outwardly facing rear surface for relative pivotal movement about a second pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis, the abutment member being movable between a stowed position in which the link and the abutment member are parallel to and in close proximity to said outwardly facing rear surface and a deployed position in which at least one edge of the abutment member is held by the link in a position spaced apart from said outwardly facing rear surface, wherein the link is movable from the stowed position in which the link is in line with the abutment member, such that the link travels through a predetermined angle of greater than 90Â° relative to said outwardly facing rear surface, to the deployed position, and a limit device being arranged to prevent angular movement of the link beyond said deployed position.
