Abstract

The present invention relates to a baby car seat allowing a position change, and the purpose thereof is to provide a baby car seat which allows the posture of a baby to be changed in the direction thereof to a horizontal direction.

Claims

1. A baby car seat allowing a position change, the baby car seat comprising:

a base body;

a car seat frame installed at an upper side of the base body and mounted with a car seat configured to accommodate a baby;

a direction changing unit configured to allow a direction of the car seat frame to be changed relative to the base body;

a tilting unit configured to allow an angle of the car seat frame to be changed relative to the base body; and

an operation unit configured to operate the direction changing unit and the tilting unit,

wherein the operation unit allows the direction changing unit to adjust the direction of the car seat frame and the tilting unit to adjust the angle of the car seat frame through operations, or fixes the direction and the angle of the car seat frame.

2. The baby car seat of claim 1, wherein the operation unit allows the direction changing unit and the tilting unit to adjust the direction and the angle, respectively, at the same time.

3. The baby car seat of claim 1, wherein the direction changing unit includes a coupling slot in a plurality of directions,

the tilting unit includes a plurality of latching grooves in a forward and backward direction, and

the operation unit comprises:

a pressing member mounted on the coupling slot and the latching grooves; and

an operation member allowing the direction changing unit to change the direction and the tilting unit to change the angle by separating the pressing member from the coupling slot and the latching grooves.

4. The baby car seat of claim 3, wherein the operation unit further comprises an elastic member returning the pressing member to an original position where the pressing member is mounted on the coupling slot and the latching grooves.

5. The baby car seat of claim 3, wherein the pressing member is formed into a round bar shape.

6. The baby car seat of claim 3, wherein the operation member is formed of wire.

7. The baby car seat of claim 6, wherein the operation unit further comprises a roller block configured to facilitate movement of the wire, wherein a roller is coupled to the roller block.

8. The baby car seat of claim 3, wherein the direction changing unit includes:

a rotation block allowing the direction to be adjusted relative to the base body, the rotation block to which the pressing member is movably coupled; and

a head portion coupled to the rotation block, the head portion in which the coupling slot is formed,

wherein the pressing member is coupled to the rotation block to allow movement of the pressing member between a position mounted on the coupling slot or a position separated from the coupling slot.

9. The baby car seat of claim 8, wherein the pressing member is mounted on the coupling slot to restrict rotation of the rotation block around the head portion, and

the operation member allows the rotation of the rotation block around the head portion by separating the pressing member from the coupling slot.

10. The baby car seat of claim 9, wherein the pressing member is separated from the coupling slot in one direction by the operation member and then mounted on the coupling slot in another direction after the rotation block is rotated to restrict the rotation of the rotation block, so that the direction of the car seat frame is changed.

11. The baby car seat of claim 3, wherein the tilting unit includes a slide rail allowing the angle to be adjusted relative to the base body and having the latching grooves formed therein, and

the slide rail has a lower surface facing the base body and formed as a circular arc surface and slides back and forth relative to the base body to adjust the angle.

12. The baby car seat of claim 11, wherein the pressing member is mounted on the latching grooves to restrict sliding of the slide rail, and

the operation member allows the sliding of the slide rail by separating the pressing member from the latching grooves.

13. The baby car seat of claim 12, wherein the pressing member is separated from one of the latching grooves by the operation member and then mounted on another latching groove after the slide rail slides to restrict the sliding of the slide rail, so that the angle of the car seat frame is changed.
