A child safety seat assembly, including a base for being positioned on a vehicle seat bottom. An anti-rebound bar is carried by the base and extends outwardly and upwardly from a foot end of the base for engaging a seat back of the vehicle seat to which the seat is attached for retarding inertia-induced rotation of the base and the attached carrier by transmitting rotational force applied to the seat during a sudden change in velocity into the seat back of the vehicle seat onto which the seat is attached.

We claim: 1. A child safety seat, comprising (a) a carrier having a molded plastic seat bottom and a seat back; (b) a molded plastic base for releasably receiving the carrier; (c) a U-shaped carry handle attached to opposing lateral sides of the carrier and adapted for securing the carrier and base to each other, and lifting and carrying the carrier, and further including a one-hand carry handle release, comprising: (i) first and second carry handle Isofix latches carried by respective first and second opposing ends of the handle and adapted to latch complementary first and second Isofix latch bars carried by the base; (ii) first and second connector cables extending from each of the Isofix latches along an interior void in the handle to a handle grip positioned on the carry handle intermediate the first and second opposing ends of the handle; (iii) a release assembly, including an actuator button, mounted in the carry handle proximate the handle grip and cooperating with the connector cables for simultaneously releasing both first and second Isofix latches from the complementary first and second Isofix latch bars in the base upon operation of the actuator button of the release assembly to thereby detach the carrier from the base; and (d) an anti-rebound bar carried by the base and extending outwardly and upwardly from a foot end of the base for engaging a seat back of a vehicle seat to which the child safety seat is attached for retarding inertia-induced rotation of the base and the attached carrier by transmitting rotational force applied to the child safety seat during a sudden change in velocity into the seat back of the vehicle seat onto which the seat is attached. 2. A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the anti-rebound bar is attached to opposite sides of the base proximate a bottom surface thereof. 3. A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the anti-rebound bar is attached to opposite sides of the base proximate a bottom surface thereof and extends outwardly and upwardly to an apex that is in a plane above an uppermost extent of the base. 4. A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the anti-rebound bar is attached to opposite sides of the base proximate a bottom surface thereof and extends outwardly and upwardly to form a continuous side-to-side curved structure. 5. A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the anti-rebound bar is attached to opposite sides of the base proximate a bottom surface thereof and extends outwardly and upwardly to form a curve extending along a longitudinal axis of the base. 6. A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the anti-rebound bar is attached to opposite sides of the base proximate a bottom surface thereof and extends outwardly and upwardly to form a compound curve having a continuous side-to-side curve component and a front-to-rear curved component extending along a longitudinal axis of the base. 7. A child safety seat according to claim 1, wherein the anti-rebound bar is attached to opposite sides of the base forward of and attached to respective latching mechanisms whereby the carrier is attached to the base.
