Abstract

The present invention discloses an adjustable child device includes a first seat portion, a second seat portion and a belt engaging element. A chamber is formed on the first seat portion. The second seat portion is foldable relative to the first seat portion. The second seat portion is at least partially received in the chamber when the second seat portion is folded relative to the first seat portion to a folded position, and the second seat portion and the first seat portion are located on a horizontal plane to form a seat part when the second seat portion is unfolded relative to the first seat portion to an unfolded position. The belt engaging element is installed on a lateral side of the seat part. The adjustable child device can be folded when it is not in use, which saves storage space.
