CHILD SAFETY SEAT

The child safety seat () for use in a vehicle in accordance with the invention comprises a seat member () configured to hold a child (), a base member () adapted to be attached to a seat () of the vehicle, and a deformable energy absorbing element (), wherein the seat member () is slidably mounted to the base member () in such a way that the seat member () is displaceable from an initial position to a shifted position by sliding the seat member () relative to the base member () and in such a way that crash-induced inertial forces acting on the child safety seat () during a frontal collision of the vehicle tend to slide the seat member () from the initial position to the shifted position, wherein the deformable energy absorbing element () is arranged to be deformed when the seat member () is slid from the initial position to the shifted position.
