Abstract

A child car seat includes a base and a seat pivotally disposed on the base such that the seat 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 a vertical part of the base and a second locking element disposed on the backrest. The first locking element comprises a frontal guiding surface and a lateral guiding surface and the second locking element comprises a mobile part that interacts with the frontal guiding surface. The frontal and lateral guiding surfaces cause the first and second locking elements to engage in a locked position as the seat is moved to the utilization position. The first and second locking elements are in an unlocked position as the seat is moved to the installation positional.
