1. A crash indication system for a child safety seat, comprising:

  • a seat body having a seat bottom;

    a base for supporting the seat body;

    the seat bottom being slidably connected to the base;

    the seat body being movable relative to the base, between a resting position and a ride down position, defined as a position in which there has been a resulting change in location of the seat bottom caused by a change in forces to the seat;

    a carriage slidably connected to the base;

    the carriage including a plurality of notches therein;

    a rod connected to the seat bottom of the seat body;

    the rod being selectively placeable in one of the plurality of notches; and

    whereby location of the rod in one of the plurality of notches sets a recline position for the seat body in a resting position;

    an indicator member attached to the carriage and movable therewith to track and monitor the movement of the seat; and

    whereby, upon ride down of the seat in the event of the change in forces to the seat, the indicator member moves with the carriage to reflect a ride down position of the seat bottom.
