Abstract
A juvenile seat assembly is provided for use with a vehicle seat. The assembly includes a juvenile seat for placement on the vehicle seat and a vehicle anchor system coupled to the seat. The juvenile seat includes a first pair of openings and a second pair of openings. The vehicle anchor system includes an anchor belt adapted to be coupled to a pair of anchor mounts provided in or near the vehicle seat. The anchor belt includes a strap having a central portion and opposite end portions, and a connector coupled to each end portion and adapted to be coupled to one of the anchor mounts. The anchor belt is threaded through the first openings to position the seat in a first, rearwardly facing position and the anchor belt is threaded through the second openings to position the seat in a second, forwardly facing position. The vehicle anchor system also includes a leash coupled to the juvenile seat and to the central portion of the anchor belt.
