Abstract:
1. A child restraint system comprising a base including a foundation adapted to set on a passenger seat in a vehicle and an anchor retainer coupled to the foundation to lie in a stationary position on the foundation, and an infant carrier including a seat shell, a front shell anchor coupled to the seat shell for pivotable movement about an anchor-pivot axis relative to the seat shell between a base-mating position engaged to the anchor retainer and a base-releasing position disengaged from the anchor retainer, and a rear shell anchor coupled to the seat shell and spaced-apart from the front shell anchor and configured to move along an anchor-movement line relative to the seat shell between an extended position and a retracted position, and an anchor controller coupled to the seat shell to move back and forth relative to the seat shell between a locked position in which the front shell anchor is in the base-mating position and the rear shell anchor is in the extended position and an unlocked position in which the front shell anchor is in the base-releasing position and the rear shell anchor is in the retracted position, wherein the anchor controller includes a release handle, an anchor-mover link arranged to interconnect the release handle and the rear shell anchor to cause the rear shell anchor to move relative to the seat shell inwardly along the anchor-movement line from the extended position to the retracted position in response to movement of the release handle in a rearward direction away from the seat shell, and an anchor-pivot link coupled to the anchor-mover link and to the front shell anchor and arranged to cause the front shell anchor to pivot about the anchor-pivot axis in a clockwise direction from the base-mating position to the base-releasing position in response to movement of the release handle in the rearward direction away from the seat shell and movement of the anchor-mover link relative to the seat shell.
