Abstract

A child car seat includes a base and a backrest. The seat is pivotally disposed on the base and may pivot between a utilization position, where the seat faces a road, and an installation position, where the seat is turned toward a door of the vehicle. The seat includes a first locking element disposed on the backrest at a portion of the backrest adapted to abut against a backrest of the vehicle seat and a second locking element disposed on a vertical part of the base. The first locking element includes a mobile hook and a latch to engage the mobile hook. The mobile hook and the latch are locked together in a locked position as the seat is moved to the utilization position. The mobile hook and the latch are disengaged in an unlocked position as the seat is moved to the installation position.
