Abstract

The present invention is a child car seat that effectively controls the temperature of the seat for a child seated on the child car seat. The child car seat includes a base unit that is fixed and a cushion unit that is mounted on the base unit. The base unit includes a fan and a duct system with plurality of openings to circulate and blow air towards the surface of the child car seat for cooling and drying purpose. The cushion unit includes a heating element sealed within the cushion unit and adhered to the foam of the cushion unit. Upon mounting the cushion unit, the power supply is activated to the child car seat and the child car seat can be controlled through a wireless remote controller to change temperature of the child car seat.

Claims
