Abstract:
A child car seating apparatus and method for assembling the same are disclosed to form a seat to protect a child riding in an automobile from infancy until he is old and large enough to use the automobile seat belts. The child car seating apparatus comprises an outer shell usable in two positions to form either a reclining seat for an infant or an upright seat for a toddler or small child, an infant insert insertable in the outer shell to form a seat for the infant, a shield attachable to the outer shell to form a seat with an impact surface for a toddler, the outer shell, itself, forming a seat for the small child, various belts and straps, and, optionally, a booster to raise the height of the outer shell when used as a seat for the toddler or small child.
