The other ends of the two shoulder belts 400 extending toward the rear side of the seat body 100 are connected to one end of the shoulder belt 700. The other end of the shoulder belt 700 passes through the second through hole 111 and extends to the front side of the seat body 100. By adjusting the length of the adjusting strap 700, it is easy to firmly or loosely adjust the two shoulder straps 400 and the crotch strap 600, thus enabling a child to sit more comfortably.By operating the operating member 310, the two connecting members 320 move the two engaging members 330 to retract into the chamber of the hollow guide member 340, and compress the two elastic members 360 to deform. At this moment, the headrest 200 is allowed to move up and down relative to the backrest portion 120. When the headrest 200 moves because the adjusting members 520 abut on the headrest 200, the two adjusting members 520 are moved to move toward the headrest 200 simultaneously. During the above-mentioned sequence, the positions of the two shoulder belts 400 are not movable, but parts from which the two shoulder belts 400 extend out of the first through holes 522 aare changed. When the headrest 200 moves to a desired position, the two shoulder belts 400 simultaneously move to the respective positions so that the height of the two shoulder belts 400 matches the height of the headrest 200. Thereafter, the operating member 310 is released so that the two elastic members 360 recover their original position and move the two engaging members 330 to protrude from the guide member 340 and to engage with the corresponding engaging holes 352.In contrast to the prior art, the end of each of the two shoulder belts of the child seat of the present invention disposed around the fixing member passes through the first through hole of the adjusting member and extends toward the front side of the seat body. The ends of the two shoulder straps are connected to the crotch strap to protect a child. Each of the two adjusting members is operated to adjust a height of the respective shoulder belt when a height of the headrest is adjusted. When the headrest is positioned at a desired height, the height of the two shoulder belts coincides with the height of the headrest, and it is not necessary to repeatedly adjust the height of the headrest and the height of the shoulder belts. Thereby, the shoulder belt adjusting mechanism has advantages such as simple structure and easy operation, so that the child seat of the present invention can be adapted to children having a different size.
