Abstract

A locking mechanism of a child car seat includes a locking member which is capable of being engaged with a pin disposed in an armrest of a stroller body and disengaged therefrom, a stopper which is rotated together with the locking member, and a stopper unlocking member having an engagement portion capable of being engaged with a stopper staged part of the stopper and disengaged therefrom. In order to detach the child car seat from the stroller body, an unlocked state of the locking mechanism is maintained. The engagement portion of the stopper unlocking member has an inclined surface which is inclined away from the stopper staged part.
