A
child safety seat (100, 100', 100") includes a base (10) for providing support on a vehicle seat and having a lengthwise direction extending from a rear end (10r) of the base (10) to a front end (10f) of the base (10), a child support
assembly (23a) coupled with the base (10), and a latch (41, 41') and an
actuator (42, 42') coupled with the child support
assembly (23a). The child support
assembly (23a) includes a seat portion (30) and a backrest portion (20), the backrest portion (20) being pivotally connected with the base (10) via a first pivot connection (P1), the backrest portion (20) and the seat portion (30) being pivotally connected with each other via a second pivot connection (P2) located forward relative to the first pivot connection (P1), the child support assembly (23a) being adjustable relative to the base (10) between a sitting position and a
recumbent position. The latch (41, 41') is operable to lock the child support assembly (23a) with the base (10) in the sitting position or the
recumbent position, and the
actuator (42, 42') is operable to cause the latch (41, 41') to unlock for adjustment of the child support assembly (23a) between the sitting position and the
recumbent position, wherein the latch (41, 41') engages with a region of the base (10) extending in the lengthwise direction from the first pivot connection (P1) to the second pivot connection (P2) for locking the child support assembly (23a) in the sitting position and the recumbent position, and the latch (41, 41') disengaging from the base (10) for adjustment of the child support assembly (23a) between the sitting position and the recumbent position.
