A novel infant child restraint system includes a base for an infant safety seat that has a height adjustment to allow the base to assume one of a plurality of positions when mounted to the vehicle seat. In one embodiment, a base for an infant safety seat features a height adjustment assembly that includes a release knob accessible from a top surface, a shaft having a first end that is attached to a release knob, a first retaining member disposed on the shaft, and an adjustable foot adapted to be disposed in a cavity and having a locking member on an inner surface. The shaft has a locked position, wherein the first retaining member cooperates with the locking member to hold the adjustable foot in a first height position, and a second, unlocked position where the first retaining member does not contact the locking member.
