more children in the car requiring them to crawl across the seat. Further
difficulties arise when one child must be handled and a second child is to be
released from the car seat” (id.).
The Specification discloses “[a]n infant/child car seat having a shell
with a seat belt releasably secured to the shell by a release button, and a
transponder that remotely activates the release button to release the seat belt
from the shell” (id. at 2).
