Abstract

See full text

A seat belt tensioning apparatus can be incorporated into or coupled to a child car seat, such as a child car seat base, a forward-facing child car seat, a rearward facing child car seat, or a toddler seat, to provide additional tensioning of a vehicle seat belt. The seat belt tensioning apparatus can include a belt lock-off device that is configured to grip and hold a portion of a vehicle seat belt and move along a belt pathway when the child car seat is placed upon the top surface of a vehicle seat. The seat belt tensioning apparatus can also include an actuator operably coupled to the belt lock-off device and configured to move the belt lock-off device in one or two directions along the belt pathway to apply additional tension to a vehicle seat belt captured in the belt lock-off device.
