An apparatus comprising in combination:a seat shell with a bottom-seat portion and a top-seat portion, with said top-seat portion of said seat shell formed to include at least two spaced apart belt receiving openings, and said top-seat portion having a back and a front surface; a harness panel physically attached to said back surface of said top-seat portion of said seat shell including, a slot panel having a plurality of slots, an adjustable anchor-point shaft in contact with said slot panel, a spring-biased medium positioned between sad harness-panel and said adjustable anchor-point shaft, said spring-biased medium selectively forcing said anchor-point shaft into one of said slots, and said spring biased medium being actuated through said belt receiving openings by exerting a force towards said top-seat portion, a harness panel casing, and a spring between said spring-biased medium and said harness panel casing, a restraint harness associated with said adjustable anchor-point shaft; a restraint harness coupler attached to said bottom-seat portion of said seat shell, and said belt receiving openings enabling adjustment of said adjustable anchor-point shaft to different elevations from said front surface of said top-seat portion through said belt-receiving openings, by actuating the anchor-point shaft against the spring biased medium, thereby releasing the anchor-point shaft from an engaged slot in said slot panel and selectively moving said anchor-point shaft in an alternative slot of said slot panel to vary the height of said anchor-point shaft relative to said bottom-seat portion of said seat shell.
