CHILD SAFETY SEAT WITH MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS

Aspects of the present disclosure include a child car seat that is convertible in order to adapt to the different growth stages of a child from infancy to toddlerhood and beyond. The car seat has a support base and a removable seat. In a first configuration, the removable seat is used in combination with the support base. In a second configuration, the removable seat is utilized alone, in the absence of the support base. The removable seat is converted from the first to the second use configuration by pivoting one or more supporting members secured to a bottom side of the removable seat between a storage position and a use position.
