A swivel grab bar assembly for a bicycle carrier is provided. The grab bar assembly is mounted on a bicycle child carrier forward of and above the child and includes a grab bar, an assembly for mounting the grab bar on the carrier, and a pivoting system which enables the grab bar to swivel or rotate from a first down position (in which a child may enter and exit the carrier) to a second upright position (so that the child is prevented from falling out the carrier).

A "U"-shaped bracket having two parallel, flat side plates and a front plate connecting the front ends of the two plates. The rear ends of the parallel plates opposite the front plate are left open. The open end of the U-shaped bracket is sized such that it can be welded onto the cylindrical rod of a seat back frame. Aligned openings are provided in the parallel flat plates of the bracket to accept and rotatably support a cylindrical armrest support rod extending from a pivotable armrest support member. The cylindrical rod includes a laterally extending pin for use in maintaining the armrest support member in a plurality of desired rotational positions with respect to the bracket. The opening in the outside plate of the bracket includes an upwardly and rearwardly extending notch to accept the laterally extending pin of the cylindircal rod. The bracket includes three stops positioned to provide abutments for the laterally extending pin from the cylindrical armrest rod at three usable armrest positions.

A child's car seat which includes a rigid, T-shaped shield member which forms the frontal restraint barrier across the chair structure. The shield member includes a lock mechanism between the vertical crotch member and the bottom of the chair structure which can be operated with one hand. The shield member is adjustably and rotatably affixed to the sides of the chair structure to permit rotation of the shield member above the child's head. Shoulder harness straps emanating from the back of the chair structure are automatically positioned as the shield member is lowered into place. The shield member, lock mechanism and shoulder harnesses are adjustable to accommodate infants and toddlers. The shoulder harness straps interact with the lock mechanism of the shield member such that once the lock is engaged, the shoulder harness straps cannot be adjusted.

The restraint and protection seat 1 for an infant includes a seat main unit 2, an infant seat belt 4 mounted on this seat main unit 2, a breast pad 5 mounted on the tip of this infant seat belt 4, and a fastening device to fasten the breast pad 5 on the seat main unit when the infant seat belt 4 is attached on an infant's body. The fastening device is provided with a receiving member 6 mounted on the breast pad 5 and with a fastening member mounted on the seat main unit 2 and to removably fasten the receiving member 6. The fastening device is arranged on the seat main unit 2 and is freely moved in a front-to-back direction by the screw device 28. Thus, the infant seat belt 4 and the breast pad 5 can be continuously adjusted and can be fitted to an infant of any physical shape.

An automobile car seat for a child is provided with a tray which is pivoted slightly above and behind the shoulders of the child who is to sit in the seat. Shoulder and lap straps are secured to the pivoted tray structure so that as the tray is swung down into position, the shoulder and lap straps automatically come into position to hold the child in place. The tray is provided with a large padded center post which locks into position into the chair seat as the tray is swung forward into position. As the child gets older and bigger, the position of the shoulder straps may be raised and locked into their new position. The seat and back may be tilted as a unit by raising the front of the seat, so that the child can lean back and sleep.
