The stabilizer has an engaging portion, preferably a hook which can be engaged with the leg of the swing assembly to immobilize the seat. The stabilizer can be pivoted downward and positioned adjacent the side of the seat where the stabilizer cannot engage with the leg thus permitting the seat to freely swing and laterally outwardly where the stabilizer is able to engage with the leg.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Graco Childrens Products, Inc.Inventors: Christine E.

Patent number: 5408723Abstract: A swivel wheel assembly which is easy to assemble and convenient for use includes a tube plug inserted into a tube leg, a pivot pin inserted into the tube plug and a rotary member rotatably secured on the pin. The rotary member supports a shaft and pair of wheels. By using a hard material for the pin, a softer material for the rotary member and a still softer material for the tube plug, friction is reduced. The plug, pin and rotary member are assembled without the use of fasteners. The rotary member includes a resilient flexible member with a key received in a circumferential groove of the pivot pin.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1994Date of Patent: April 25, 1995Assignee: Graco Children's Products, Inc.Inventors: Christine E.
