1. An apparatus for a child safety seat, the apparatus comprising:
- a releasable connector configured to engage with an anchoring point provided in a vehicle to secure the child safety seat to the vehicle, wherein the releasable connector is movable relative to the child safety seat in a first direction; and
a braking element coupled to the releasable connector and configured to decelerate a movement of the releasable connector in the first direction in response to an accelerating force, acting on the releasable connector in the first direction, exceeding a predetermined threshold,wherein the braking element is pivotally coupled to the releasable connector and is configured to rotate about a rotation axis of the braking element which is spaced apart from the center of gravity of the braking element such that a rotary force acts on the braking element in response to the releasable connector accelerating.
