Abstract

A child safety seat includes a seat shell and an extension member. The seat shell has a seat portion and a backrest, the seat portion having a front end opposite to the backrest. The extension member is pivotally connected with the seat shell, and is rotatable relative to the seat shell between a retracted position where the extension member is stowed in the seat shell and a deployed position where the extension member deploys forward beyond the front end of the seat shell to expand a leg room at a front of the child safety seat.

an extension member pivotally connected with the seat shell near the front end, the extension member being rotatable relative to the seat shell between a retracted position where the extension member is stowed in the seat shell and a deployed position where the extension member deploys forward beyond the front end of the seat shell to expand a leg room at a front of the child safety seat, the extension member having a rib, the rib engaging with the first groove to lock the extension member in the retracted position and with the second groove to lock the extension member in the deployed position.

7. The child safety seat according to claim 6 , wherein the first and second grooves are disposed near the front end.

8. The child safety seat according to claim 6 , wherein the extension member is pivotally connected with the seat shell about a pivot axis extending transversally relative to the seat shell.
