Abstract

A child safety seat with a transverse engaging base is provided. The child safety seat has an engagement portion for engaging with the base in transverse direction. The base is formed with at least a transverse engaging space which includes a first upper abutting face, a second abutting face and a support face so as to receive and retain the child safety seat therebetween. A positioning element is operatively mounted between the child safety seat and the base, so as to releasably lock the child safety seat within the transverse engaging space.
