Child seat for mounting on a vehicle seat

Abstract

A child seat ( 28 ) is described for mounting on a vehicle seat ( 10 ) which has a seat surface ( 16 ) which is inclined forward and upward in the direction of travel ( 18 ). The child seat ( 28 ) has a seat shell ( 32 ) which is arranged on a base part ( 30 ). The base part ( 30 ) has a base area ( 34, 36 ) which has a front base area section ( 34 ) and a rear base area section ( 36 ). The front and the rear base area sections ( 34 and 36 ) enclose an obtuse angle ( 38 ) with each other. A wedge element ( 40 ) bears either against the front or against the rear base area section ( 34 or 36 ), so that the wedge element ( 40 ) and the respective base area section ( 34 or 36 ) adjoining the wedge element ( 40 ) form a common level bearing surfaces ( 42 ).
