Claim:
A child safety seat assembly comprising: a base; a seat adjustable between a plurality of recline positions relative to the base; and a latch mechanism operable to detachably lock the seat on the base at one of the recline positions, wherein the latch mechanism comprises: a sliding element assembled with either of the base and the seat, and movable relative to the base and the seat along a lengthwise axis extending from a front to a rear of the seat and the base, the sliding element having an actuating end exposed outward for operation; at least one resilient arm joined with the sliding element, wherein the resilient arm has a distal end provided with a latching portion; and a spring disposed along the lengthwise axis, the spring having a first end connected with the sliding element, and a second end connected with an anchor point in either of the base and the seat; wherein the spring is operable to bias the sliding element to move along the lengthwise axis in a first direction to drive the resilient arm in movement and displace the latching portion in a second direction for locking the seat with the base, and wherein pushing against the actuating end of the sliding element causes displacement of the sliding element to compress the spring and to move the latching portion for unlocking the seat from the base.
