Abstract
A securing structure for fixing an child restraint designed for automobile seats onto a bench type seat of the kind commonly found on school buses. The securing structure comprises a fabric seat belt harness secured by seat belt buckles onto an fastening anchor that is attached to the bench seat frame. At least one slack take-up tensioning buckle ensures that the harness can be tensioned snugly around the child restraint. In one embodiment the fastening anchor is an elongated tongue bolted to the frame and thin enough to be slid out of the way in the seam of the seat when not being used to secure the harness. In another embodiment an elongated hook is used.
